Review: I received an e-copy of this book a whole ago form the author! I took some time to read it over the weekend and found myself so engaged. The personification of the house plant was perfect. Though short, there is a clear growth of the plant from disregarding and fearing humans to developing love for its caretakers. It was really interesting to see how the plants deals with the loss of a loved one. I definitely recommend folks to give this short story a read!
