The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns by Margaret Dilloway

3.0

Personal/family drama about prickly biology teacher waiting for a kidney transplant. She grows roses to show and hopes to hit it big with a rose that can go commercial. She’s as prickly as her roses but she grows too as she takes care of a teenage niece dumped on her doorstep. Somewhat predictable but still kind of nice.
Really liked that she is a complex character with some real flaws that don't magically disappear at the end.
