This book is about sharing flowers and planting flowers and flowers in the wind!

Emma can't wait for her cousin Hannah's wedding. She's going to be the flower girl.

But nothing turns out to be quite what she's expecting, as Hannah's new spouse turns out to be another bride!

Connor Norton returns to his hometown, following the death of his mother, knowing that he will have to confront personal feelings of guilt and regret.

Nine months after removing the Reaper in the Tree from his throne, Clarence, Wakoba, and Jessi have struggled to adjust back to their normal lives. Ever since he was marked by the Pit, Clarence has been tormented by nightmares. With the return of color, the tensions between mortals and reapers increased.

Weighed down by guilt following the death of his two-year-old son, Mac McCann accepts a year-long position training police officers in Afghanistan.

But when the hour of attack arrives, will he be able to see past his guilt to believe there’s still something - and someone - worth living for?

Death was celebrated when the reapers and humans coexisted. Back when the monsters from around The End stayed in their small pocket of existence, only coming out in nightmares and darkness. Ganedyn was paradise and shared its life with its mortal counterpart. Reapers rewarded those at the end of their time on Earth by leading them through the tree in the in-between to an eternity of color, life, and freedom. In return, they would bring tokens back from Ganedyn. Acorns capable of sprouting into an entire forest and flowers capable of curing disease. Everything was in balance.
