Publisher's Synopsis
A bouquet of brides is picked for love.
Meet seven American women who were named for various flowers but struggle to bloom where God planted them. Can love help them grow to their full potential?
Holly and Ivy by Mary Davis (1890, Washington State)

At Home with Daffodils by Paula Moldenhauer (1909, Oklahoma)
When her childhood sweetheart returns to town, will Dilly Douglas accept the worthy heart he offers, or will the old wound he opens keep them apart?
A Song for Rose by Suzanne Norquist (1882, Rockledge, Colorado)
