This book, written by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, was very intriguing. The story is about Victoria, a girl who has been raised entirely in foster care. At 18, with nowhere to live, she plants a garden in the park. Eventually she finds a job with a florist. The story moves between past and present, showing the reader how Victoria came to know the language of flowers and how it has changed, and continues to change, her life.
While this story was very interesting and I really enjoyed reading the meanings of different flowers, I never felt "attached" to Victoria's character. It made it more difficult to finish this book. But I still think Diffenbaugh is a fantastic writer.
This one had 305 pages.
