Sometimes the flowers that bloom late bloom the brightest.

Ever since her diagnosis with a chronic illness, Claire Boone has felt left behind in life. She works a remote job doing data entry and has lost touch with her old friends, finding solace only in her beloved garden.
But when her aunt gives her an unexpected gift, it upends her monotonous existence. Determined to do something amazing with what she’s been given, she decides to open a flower shop—something she always dreamed of but never thought would be possible.
Fortunately, despite the challenges and setbacks of trying to start a new business while managing her illness, she soon realizes that she’s not as alone as she thought she was.
