The setting is San Francisco, current day. A wayward teen never adopted has maxed out on state help and is forced out into the world. As the story unfolds the back story of Victoria’s life is revealed, including the many mistakes she has made. She has a gift with flowers and shares that gift with others. The reader watches her develop and grow and yet continue to make mistakes. A frustrating read, though engaging. Victoria is not particularly likeable yet I found myself rooting for her. Appropriate for teens and up.
