Thanks to Leslie Schwartz of Berkley Trade, I am giving away one print copy of The Art of Arranging Flowers.
Ruby Jewell insists she is perfectly happy with her life, with her faithful dog by her side, surrounded by the beautiful flowers that are her stock in trade. A florist in the small Washington State town that she calls home, she has a flair for creating arrangements that get right to the heart of the matter. Whether intended to rekindle a romance, mark a celebration, offer sympathy, or heal a broken heart, her expressive designs can inspire every emotion for her customers.However, still broken after the death of her beloved sister, she is not quite able to find and express her own heart’s desires. It is the arrival of a little boy, sent to live with his grandparents after the death of his mother, a terminally ill astronaut, and the arrival of the new veterinarian in town who find a way to open Ruby’s heart.
