The Language
of Flowers

The Victorian language of flowers was used to
convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and
red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in
communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care
system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the
world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from
the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping
others through the flowers she chooses for them. But an unexpected encounter
with a mysterious stranger 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.
