About This Book

Mae pulls her jacket tight against the city breeze as she watches her old garden disappear behind the moving truck. The tall buildings seem so different from the apple trees and daffodils she loves. Just when she thinks she can’t find a single flower here, something surprising catches her eye—what could it be?
