    About this audiobook

    A moving and eloquent novel about love, grief, renewal—and the powerful language of flowers.

    Ruby Jewell knows flowers. In her twenty years as a florist she has stood behind the counter at the Flower Shoppe with her faithful dog, Clementine, resting at her feet. A customer can walk in, and with just a glance or a few words, Ruby can throw together the perfect arrangement for any occasion.

    Whether intended to rekindle a romance, mark a celebration, offer sympathy, or heal a broken heart, her expressive floral designs mark the moments and milestones in the lives of her neighbors. It’s as though she knows just what they want to say, just what they need.

    Yet Ruby’s own heart’s desires have gone ignored since the death of her beloved sister. It will take an invitation from a man who’s flown to the moon, the arrival of a unique little boy, and concern from a charming veterinarian to reawaken her wounded spirit. Any life can be derailed, but the healing power of community can put it right again.

      This was such a lovely book. On the surface it's about Ruby Jewell, who's owned a flower shop for 20 years and has an uncanny knack for putting together just the right flowers for her clients - not just because they're beautiful, but because she know so much about flowers and herbs and colors. She takes great care to create combinations not just for their beauty, but also for their physical and psychological effects. She lives a solitary life with her beloved dog. But as the book unfolds new people are introduced into her life that bring about a healing change for her. And along the way, we learn not just about Ruby and her life, but about the lives of many of the other residents of her small community. It's a wonderful journey.
