I just read this book this month with my book club. I thought it was fantastic as well and highlighted the issue of children in foster care as well as the connection and bonding issues. I like how the author connected the two to flowers. My book club was split on this book, I think it is more of a book club issue focusing on the negative in a book rather than was is good about a book. <br /><br />BonnieStacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-42298710561978254362012-03-23T12:09:28.264-04:002012-03-23T12:09:28.264-04:00Sad to say that after all the hype, this one faile...Sad to say that after all the hype, this one failed me.
