Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh (2011)

This was a very intriguing book with a different kind of heroine. This girl wandered the foster home and orphanage circuit, but did learn the language of flowers from one of her foster mothers. This is a language I know nothing about - except something about yellow roses not being a good thing to give someone. I really enjoyed following this woman's way to finding a way to make a living doing something she loves and does well - working with flowers, but also finding the right flowers for people and their situations. She also learns to relate to people and even open up for love - though excruciatingly slowly at times.
