As Europe enters the war in 1939, Alma Belasco's parents send her to relatives in San Fransico where she continues the rest of her life.
Alma befriends Ichimei Fukuda, the Japanese gardener's son. The friendship turns into a love affair hidden from their community and everyone around them because even in America, it's not acceptable.
Alma and Ichimei continue their lives on the outside along with a hidden romance for seven decades.
When Alma is near the end of her life, Irina, her caretaker, and Alma's grandson, Seth, find a mystery in the flowers, notes, and secret escapades dependably repeated by Alma.
With a little spying and digging around, Irina and Seth discover the relationship.
To hide such a beautiful love should never need to happen. The funny thing about love is that you don't choose it, it chooses you. True love always brings peace and conquers war. Spread the word.
Happy reading,
Dawn
