When I looked at the table of contents and saw "Appendix I: Floriography" and "Appendix II: Book Group Reading Guide," I was filled with joy. So full admission :D I glanced at a few reviews while I was checking "how many pages" because I needed to finish reading this book in a timely fashion; I laughed at a "too short" I saw and at "collection of short stories." I danced in the little connections between one story and another; they were connected into one story of "woman and her experiences." Too often in "women's lit" I find that "women's experiences" are limited to white, middle to upper class women who've always lived that life; Ms. Muncio broke that mold and made her own. The richness of the diversity of the women's experiences in this book were exciting to behold.I was given a free copy of this book for a fair and honest review
