A ninety-year-old widow with an immense, heart-warming fullness of spirit and a twenty-year-old neighbor discover a gentle, age-spanning romance that unfolds like the slow unfolding of Alabama wildflowers—rich in long, soul-stirring embraces, shared sweet teas, and the tender, unspoken warmth of two souls that grow heavier, wetter, and more alive with every slow, soul-stirring touch and deepening glance, where the secret gardens of the heart bloom with a passionate, unspoken fire that burns hotter and hotter as the night lengthens.
