Book Blurb:
Now eighteen and emancipated from the system, Victoria has nowhere to go and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. Soon a local florist discovers her talents, and Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But a mysterious vendor at the flower market has her questioning what’s been missing in her life, and when she’s forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it’s worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness.

I was lucky enough to read an ARC of this book and then meet the author at a local book store book signing. The author is a baby, only 33 years old! It was evident she’s determined to better the foster system as she herself has two foster children in addition to her own two biological kids. If this book is an indication of what’s coming next from her we’re in luck.
Quotes I liked:
Over time, we would learn each other and I would learn to love her like a mother loves a daughter, imperfectly and without roots.”
Upon your recommendation I read this book, and have since lent (yes, I still like books instead of kindle) it to many friends. Everyone who has read it, including myself, have loved story. Vanessa Diffenbaugh is brilliant.

I just read this book. I don’t know how I could have missed it when it was published. Just gave it to my daughter to read. I am sure she will love it.
Loved your review!!!
