While listening to this book was a little bit hard to keep up with the timeline switches. I would realize a sudden switch had happened (main character child back to adult) when I heard the voice change but not always immediately. I wish there had been a better defined switch. Not hard to understand once I realized, though. Sad topics shed light on the glaring need for more social workers, mental health services and oversight for foster kids. The flower definitions is really a smaller part of this story that manages to weave generations together.
