Praise and Reviews

y  The story line is an unforgettable. I read it within a day because I couldn't put it down. I recommended this book to my mother, who works in a nursing home and has great compassion for those in there. The author does an excellent job telling the story of Nellie's eventful life. The book has a postitive and influential message, and reminds us that we all have a story to tell, and to listen to those stories especially from our elders.
Great Book down memory lane. Nellie is able to keep her memories alive with her book of flowers, from sorrow to joy, through wars, the great depression and finally to her dreams of how she wants to live out the rest of her life. Excellent ending!
y  What a wonderful and touching story. I fell in love with the character, Nellie, right from the start. The story line was so well written that I felt I knew Nellie. I could feel her joy, her sorrow and found myself laughing right along with her when she played her hilarious little pranks.
What a great way to tell the story of her life through her book of flowers and their significance in her life.
I would definitely recommend this book. Hope there are more books coming from this author.
