I'll be there tonight and thanks for the very unusual read, Gloria.  I've always loved yellow roses, and now I have to think twice about them!  Maggie

Greetings Book Club Members,   I, too, will be unable to attend the September meeting on that date as I will also be attending the Board of Directors Meeting in Fargo.  We meet every other month on the third Wednesday.  The book sounds as though it will be interesting and thought-provoking. Would like to be there.....enjoy your evening.  Alice --- On Thu, 8/25/11, Carmen Plummer <cjplum@702com.net> wrote: From: Carmen Plummer <cjplum@702com.net> Subject: Re: September read, plus schedule to December 2011 To: "Grenier, Tina" <Tina.Grenier@ndscs.edu>, "Alice" <alice_haugen@yahoo.com>, "Barton, Cindy" <Cindy.Barton@ndscs.edu>, "Blogger Email" <Tina.Grenier.undercover6bookgroup@blogger.com>, "Kassa, Carin" <Carin.Kassa@ndscs.edu>, "Carol Meehan" <caroldmeehan@aol.com>, "Cindy Splichal" <Csplichal@702com.net>, "Fox-Trydahl, Shirley" <Shirley.Fox@ndscs.edu>, "Dohman, Gloria" <Gloria.Dohman@ndscs.edu>, "Goroski, Heather" <Heather.Goroski@ndscs.edu>, "Janet Hasbargen" <janetjeanh@yahoo.com>, "Ost, Jodi" <jodi.ost@ndscs.edu>, "Peterson, Judith" <Judith.Peterson@ndscs.edu>, "Kathy Hoffert" <bobkat50@yahoo.com>, "Loretta Meyer" <lorettameyer@hotmail.com>, "Maggie Vertin" <mvertin@wah.midco.net> Date: Thursday, August 25, 2011, 5:06 PM Tina and all, I will not be able to be at the Sept. meeting as I have a Board of Director's meeting for Red River Human Services Foundation in Fargo.  The book looks interesting!!

The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it's been more useful in communicating grief, mistrust, and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system, Victoria has nowhere to go and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. Soon a local florist discovers her talents, and Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But a mysterious vendor at the flower market has her questioning what's been missing in her life, and when she's forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it's worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness.         Ms. Tina Grenier,  M.Ed.
