The story centers on Flora Donovan, a vibrant New York florist who has spent her life feeling isolated and lonely after being orphaned as a young child. Her life transforms when she falls for Jack Parker, a kind man who finally gives her the sense of connection she has always craved. However, Jack is a grieving widower with a teenage daughter, Izzy, who is barely keeping herself together after losing her mother. Desperately protective of her family, Izzy resists the idea of her father finding love again and fiercely rejects Flora’s presence. The novel explores the delicate, emotional journey of navigating grief, acceptance, and learning how to build a modern “found family” from the ground up.
