Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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. Look for special features inside.

    It turns out there was a bit of miscommunication with eBay and I thought seller might have been the source. As it turns out though the product, the description, and the incredibly prompt and reasonably priced delivery add up to an exemplary transaction with seller. I would do business with ramshackleempire any time a be confident in the transaction.

    The refund you received was a shipping discount, which should have been included in the refund notice from Ebay. Your item shipped with the other item you purchased. Check your tracking and consider revising this feedback.

    Thought provoking

    Started our slow I thought. About half way thru couldn't wait to read what was next. I would recommend for anyone but especially a child who is going thru identity or a feeling of being unloved and unwanted. The life experience and mind set as becoming an adult and beyond. Thought provoker.
