This is a heart wrenching story. The first few chapters I cried and cried, but it did not stop me from reading.  I’m knee it had to get better.  Each chapter is headed with a different t Australian native flower and it has sent me on a journey of replanting my garden.  I’m so glad n live with this book I have not stopped talking or thinking about it.

Beautifully written, but I really disliked the way the main character justified domestic violence.

Brutally sad, but gorgeously hopeful. This book has made it on my top favorites of the year. Holly Ringland's writing style is sweeping, descriptive, precise, and beautiful. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled by a writer's use of language. The way she conveys emotion will tear your heart out.
