Art of Arranging Flowers

and#160;

Ruby Jewell knows flowers. In her twenty years as a florist she has stood behind the counter at the Flower Shoppe with her faithful dog, Clementine, resting at her feet. A customer can walk in, and with just a glance or a few words, Ruby can throw together the perfect arrangement for any occasion.

and#160;

Whether intended to rekindle a romance, mark a celebration, offer sympathy, or heal a broken heart, her expressive floral designs mark the moments and milestones in the lives of her neighbors. Itand#8217;s as though she knows just what they want to say, just what they need.

and#160;

Yet Rubyand#8217;s own heartand#8217;s desires have gone ignored since the death of her beloved sister. It will take an invitation from a man whoand#8217;s flown to the moon, the arrival of a unique little boy, and concern from a charming veterinarian to reawaken her wounded spirit. Any life can be derailed, but the healing power of community can put it right again.
