Flowers For The Season

Flowers For the Season: Our main character is Helen. She is a 19 year old red head living in 1910 Chicago with her mom and dad, her sister Margaret, her brother Frank and their housekeeper/cook Sarah. She has an older sister, Betsy who is married and lives in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The story begins with her making the decision to go spend the winter with her sister and her husband in Little Rock. Her first trip alone as an adult. The cover of the book is her reading a magazine on the train.

She drops that magazine in her train car that she is sharing with a handsome young stranger who bends down to pick it up for her. From there, fate takes over.

This book is about coming of age, young love, and the value and strength of family during difficult times. There are very human interactions, and discoveries. Characters that will make you laugh, like the fancy lemon lady. There is also the terrifying moment when Helen's brother Frank is kidnapped. Helen also has a reoccurring dream throughout much of the book only to have the meaning of the dream revealed at the end.

Throughout the book the romance of Helen and her new handsome beau, Charles, continues to grow, ending with the sinking of the Titanic in April of 1912 which will have an impact on Helen and her family.
