Beth Bruno's experience is fascinating and helpful, especially to people like me who hope to be parents some day. Her writing is generous, human, evocative and heart-stirring. Every time I put the manuscript down to attend to other things, I look forward to picking it up again. The connections are clever between the flower names and content of the essays. Because each story is short and holds a reader's interest, it is a pleasant book to escape with, if only for a few minutes at a time.
