The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

I was so sad to finish The Language of Flowers as I enjoyed it from start to finish.  This was a compelling read that had great detail and life to it.  It is the story of Victoria Jones and her life full of struggles.  Victoria was passed through the foster system and at 18 is emancipated and must find a way to survive.  This is where the real story begins as she meets people from her past and works towards a new and fresh future.  We get to know Victoria as a young girl through her memories and also as a young woman as she tries to make something for herself.  Victoria’s most comfortable way of communicating with people is through flowers and the symbolism that they have.  She uses this skill as she tries to survive and also make connections with the people she meets.  This book is difficult to describe but I would highly recommend it.  There wasn’t a thing I didn’t like about this book!  If you need more reassurance check out the reviews on Amazon.com, they will sell you for sure!
