Must Love Flowers: A Novel By Debbie Macomber

In Debbie Macomber's uplifting novel, two women, Joan Sample and Maggie Herbert, navigate unexpected challenges. Joan, a widow and empty-nester, embraces renewal after years of self-imposed isolation. With her sister Emmie's encouragement, Joan takes steps toward reclaiming her life—hiring a gardener, joining a grief support group, and renting a room to a college student.

Maggie, a barista juggling nursing classes and a tumultuous home life, finds solace when she rents a room in Joan's house. In this unexpected refuge, Maggie glimpses the potential for a brighter future. However, her budding attraction to a favorite customer threatens the newfound harmony with Joan.

As the women grapple with life's complexities, they draw strength from their evolving friendship. Through shared experiences and challenges, Maggie and Joan discover the power of "found family." Meanwhile, a mysterious landscaper, harboring his own past loss, adds an intriguing layer to Joan's life.

Macomber's narrative, praised by Kristin Hannah for its wisdom and warmth, explores the transformative journey of these two women. Amidst difficult choices and unforeseen connections, Joan and Maggie find resilience, hope, and the enduring bond of a chosen family.
