The Book

In this collection of four heartfelt novellas, three former friends have found success in the floral industry, but happiness--and love--remain elusive.

In An Apology in Bloom, wedding florist Jaime Harper is on a meteoric rise, working for an event company led by a successful and way-too-handsome boss. When a letter arrives from her past mentor with an offer too good to pass up, will she stay or head back to her hometown?

In A Bouquet of Dreams, Claire Murphy has always dreamed of owning a flower shop, and when her employers hint at retirement, she believes her moment has arrived. But first she must confront her past--and the man who caused her to flee her hometown years ago.

In A Field of Beauty, Tessa Anderson has found an acre of farmland to start her flower farm and forget the past. She's grateful for the help of two men--her boyfriend, Tyler, and a quiet soil specialist named Dawson. But as the farm finally starts to bloom, Tessa will discover something that challenges everything she's built.

In A Future in Blossom, Jaime, Claire, and Tessa return to their hometown, finally ready to face each other and their beloved mentor, flower shop owner Rose Reid. As they unite to pull off an extraordinary wedding, amid the flurry of preparations they just may find their way to forgiveness.

Book Review

A Year of Flowers is a collection of four novellas. Each of the first three stories features one of three close friends who had worked at a flower shop together years earlier until something happened to tear them apart. Though their lives have all taken very different turns, they all find themselves working with flowers in some way. We get glimpses in each of their stories about what had happened in the past, though we don't get the full story until the final novella when they are brought back together again, and the full truth comes out. It was a beautiful story of friendship, faith and yes, the importance of flowers too. I thought it was a really interesting way to tell their stories through novellas that all work together to tell one bigger story. It was beautiful and emotional. I have always enjoyed Suzanne Woods Fisher's contemporary romance, and this one certainly did not disappoint.
