This is the stories of 3 women who are connected to a religion based on the story of the garden of Eden. God's Gardeners believe there will be a waterless flood and they have begun preparing for it by learning to grow their own food and how to forage. And they're vegan. It uses flashback story-telling, too. At about halfway through the book, They have begun bumping into the main characters of O&C as sidelines to their own stories.

I like the way she is weaving these stories around each other.

I don't think you need to read this before you read O&C, but you do need to read both of them before you begin the third book.
