A Year of Flowers


 This is a collection of four novellas that all combine to tell a singular story about three friends who used to work in the same flower shop. After a fire they all moved in separate directions.  Rose, the owner of the flower shop, writes each of the girls a letter telling them to come home, that all is forgiven.  Each girl has had time to gel her hopes and dreams and make them a reality.  Jaime is working for the most elite wedding planning service in New York, Tessa has bought a one acre lot to grow flowers to supply to florists, and Claire finally has enough money to buy a flower shop.  Each girl has issues to overcome even after getting their dream.  Each girl has to respond to Rose's request to come home. Each girl is afraid of what Rose has to say.   

Suzanne Woods Fisher has written a thoughtful book that includes a lot of floral lore and legend. Each chapter is prefaced with a flower quote or observation.  Some of them I wish she hadn't included, but overall it was an entertaining read that didn't take a lot of time to read.
