Everything changes when she develops an unexpected connection with him, spoken through their mutual appreciation for the language of flowers. Through her budding relationship with Drew, Maria discovers something she thought was lost long ago: trust in herself.
All her wildest dreams could come true, if only she embraces vulnerability and the splendid chaos life has thrown her way. We all have secrets. Who we trust with them might just set us free.
