Will's Garden is Maracle's first novel to cross over into young adult fiction. This coming-of-age story of a young Sto:loh man is set in Sto:loh territory. Will takes the time to look again at the women in his life and consider his future as a Sto:loh caretaker of the land in the modern world. He also deals with the common issues of a teenager: bullying, sexuality, love and illness. Will's Garden explores the ceremonial traditions of Sto:loh boys who are becoming men.

Will's Garden is Lee Maracle's first novel to cross over into Young Adult Fiction. Lee Maracle was one of the first Aboriginal people to be published in the early ´70s and has since been one of the most highly published First Nations writers in Canada.
