another rewarding
visit with the residents of
Three Pines
I've started these in order
after having read a few here and there
that makes me nod my head frequently
if you're an introvert too
if you're an introvert too
you don't want to miss this one...
I was just going to listen to it in the car
but am enjoying it so much
it's in the house
making my hooking and stitching
an extra treat...
About the Book
"The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, aster for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating grief, 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.
"The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, aster for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating grief, 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, Victoria has nowhere to go and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. Soon a local florist discovers her talents, and Victoria realizes that she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But a mysterious vendor at the flower market inspires her to question 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."

Kelley Girl...LOVE Lee Child. They're making a movie of one of the books...Tom Cruise as Reacher.
Finished L. Penny's 'Trick' and LOVED it as all her books are wonderful. Will have to read Lee Child. Another wonderful read is 'The Lost Child' by John Hart!!! A GREAT read!
Never read any of these authors - love that you posted these - i always love finding a new "good read"!
Have you ever listened to Louise Penny's books on tape? The man who reads them is fabulous!! She's one of my favorites and I'm pretty sure I should live in Three Pines.
