Next month the Antemeridians will be meeting on October 15th to discuss The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. The Language of Flowers tells the story of Victoria Jones, a young woman who has spent her childhood in the foster-care system. Now at the age of 18, she is emancipated from the system with nowhere to go. Victoria realizes that she has the gift for helping others through her knowledge of flowers, but an unexpected encounter with a stranger has her questioning what has been missing in her life.
