The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey what words could not, from declarations of admiration to confessions of betrayal.

For Victoria Jones, alone after a childhood in foster care, it is her way of expressing a legacy of grief and guilt. Believing she is damaged beyond hope, she trusts nobody, connecting with the world only through message-laden bouquets. 

Really good. Loved the ending, everything not tied up neatly in bow but a real sense of hope.
