Victoria was abandoned as an infant and determined that she was unlovable after a serious of disastrous placements. She then sets out to prove how unlovable she is by sabotaging the relationship with a woman who actually does love her--Elizabeth.
But before leaving her last best hope, Victoria learns from Elizabeth about flowers and the Victorian meanings given to them. This is what saves her when she ages out of the system and is left to fend for herself.
The story, told in the present and past, is beautifully written and provides insight into a topic I knew little about. It is also a story of pain, survival and hope.
