The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart is a tale of generational trauma and personal redemption. Abuse can come in many forms as Alice Heart discovers throughout her life - physical, emotional, and manipulation.

My heart broke for Alice as she continued to be tormented in several stages of her life when all she sought was comfort and safety. This is not an easy read—emotionally gutting at points—but it is woven with beautiful floral language and a happy ending. Now, I'm curious to see how Amazon Video did on their series adaptation. 

It reads like a really great draft, but not a finished book. The story feels choppy, and because of that, boring, even though there are interesting things happening. There's a lot of opportunity for the reader to have questions, but I had the sense none of them were going to be answered.
