There is a time when Miriam can grieve the loss of her husband, but after three and a half years, it is time to get on with life or lose even more than Ben by losing her daughter too. I think Emma has found a way to actually help her daughter, Miriam get on the road to recovery. It is good that Miriam's sister will help her.

This definitely sounds like my kind of book! I love authors that have the talent to bring the character s and pull readers into the story. I thoroughly enjoy a novel that endears a character and allows readers to step into another's shoes, so to speak. Stories that give readers the opportunity to develop empathy for the pain of another. Thanks for such a well written review.

This book has make me loose track of time. I got so into Miriams situation and husbands death that it has brightened up feelings in me. I loved the writing style Katie Blancha has written this book, brief but concise, she hasn’t mumbled through with unimportant words or frases. Her simplicity is what is keeping me focused and intrigued at what happens at each page in passed by. I really I am enjoying it.

Pressing Flowers by Katie Blanchard is really a book with a sad story. The story showed the harsh reality of life. Death is the destination and we all are on the same journey. We should complete our journey. I really liked the plot. Congo on #botd.

Pressing Flowers is something that parents do with their children to pass time. Pressing Flowers is something that your grandmother ask you not to do by not leaning to close to her flower garden. Pressing Flowers is also something that the love of your life does to your cheek just before he kisses it, your lips, and tells you he loves you and is going to spend the rest of his life seeing those flowers pressing against your face. Katie Blanchard sends the reader into imagery and sadness for the lost of her love. Without a doubt she conveys her message of despair and hardship at the same time every word out of the main characters mouth and every bit of shambles that happens along the way is a cover up from her always remembering the embrace of Pressing Flowers, that even Penelope or Charlotte will never know what she's thinking being her little flowers. Katie Blanchard's Pressing Flowers is top-rated and I give this marvel 4 out of 4 stars.

An excellent review and sounds like an amazing book. However, I have lost someone and often these types of stories are too triggering for me emotionally. A good cry is always releasing but it can be too much for me sometimes.

This review is excellent. I think the many people will relate with Miriam since a lot of us have somehow lost a person dear to us. I feel like this book will be a tear jerker and inspirational.

From a sampling, this was a strong and emotional story. The characters were well developed and the plot is definitely not something that you read often. It is definitely worth a second look. Well done.

Wow sounds like a great book but very sad. Sad romance novels are not my thing especially when I know from the start that it's going to be sad.

The review is very honest and heartfelt. I could feel the rhythm of the book from the review. If someone has left you, you'll do anything to hold on to them with the last remnants of life you have, whatever be the cost. The books seems to be emotional and heart-rending. Thanks for the review.
