Book Cover & Preview Text
“I can’t believe you don’t know why your uncle wanted all red roses,” Patti said.
John answered, “What is there to know? I know that Uncle Andrew was a nut when it came to roses. I don’t know why he loved roses and no clue why only red roses. Maybe he just liked red. Maybe that’s it. He always had a red bandana for a handkerchief.”
“Come, on. There has to be a reason for only red roses. Maybe I’ll understand better when they begin to bloom. It is too odd not to have a reason, and I can’t believe you or anyone else in your family never asked him about the roses.”
“I think I did one time, and he said that a real rose is red; any other color is a flower. Now, doesn’t that sound like I was paying attention?”

He returns months later with his new bride to a home she’s never seen and to live in a small Mississippi town where she’s never been. Will she adjust to the different size and culture of this new life over her beloved hometown of Chicago?
