Review: Enough to make a very good read

Enough good characters to make you care about what happens.  Enough background and description to put you there.  Enough tension to keep you interested, but not done in a fakey way.  Enough possibilities to make a very interesting series.  Violet has had some hard things in her past, but just like the flower she was named for she has remained sweet.  She knows the trip back for her grandmother's funeral will be hard, but she goes anyway.  Her relationship with her grandmother was hard, but she still managed to see the good her grandmother did.  Even though this book is the first of a series with many paths to be followed, it stands well on its own.  You feel closure and sweetness at the end of the book.  I have enjoyed everything this author has written and this is no exception.
