Everyone said they liked the book. We discussed the potential seen in Victoria as a child and as a mother. She had an amazing ability to speak the language of flowers to her customers; a premarital counselor, of sorts. Her life, in and out of foster homes, caused her to struggle with the meaning of family; with Elizabeth, with Grant, and with her own newborn daughter.
The importance of food was evident in Victoria's everyday life, whether hungry or gorged. It was more than just nourishment.
We agreed that Victoria is a survivor, wise and strong. She finally learned to ask forgiveness and experience true love and mercy. If I may quote a wise person we all know and love (Pam): "We'd all be in sorry shape if we only got what we deserved". Well said!
My wish for this group is a big bouquet of freesia!!

Nancy thank you for a wonderful evening. I have to agree I am very thankful also for the friendships that have been developed through this book club. We are so lucky to have each other. this is also a wonderful friendship club. Oh by the way I thouroughly enjoyed the book. I will always wonder now when I rceive flowers as a gift what is their meaning. I never knew that you could communicate through a bouquet of flowers. I always just enjoyed their beauty but now I know there is so much more meanng involved. Thanks again. To all of my book club buddies have a very Happy Blessed Thanksgiving

PS: I do like the fact that Kathy has encouraged us to write our own blog every month.
Well done, Nancy! We'd go a mile -- maybe 20 - for such a wonderful meal and conversation. Glad you're now one of us!
