In
her inimitable style, Viola Shipman explores the unlikely relationship between
two very different women brought together by the pain of war, but bonded by
hope, purpose…and flowers.
Iris Maynard lost her husband
in World War II, her daughter to illness and, finally, her reason to live.
Walled off from the world for decades behind the towering fence surrounding her
home, Iris has built a new family…of flowers. Iris propagates her own daylilies
and roses while tending to a garden filled with the heirloom starts that keep
the memories of her loved ones alive.
When Abby Peterson moves next
door with her family—a husband traumatized by his service in the Iraq War and a
young daughter searching for stability—Iris is reluctantly yet inevitably drawn
into her boisterous neighbor’s life, where, united by loss and a love of
flowers, she and Abby tentatively unearth their secrets, and help each other
discover how much life they have yet to live.
With
delightful illustrations and fascinating detail, Viola Shipman’s heartwarming
story will charm readers while resonating with issues that are so relevant
today.
