Set in present day San Francisco, Victoria Jones communicates her emotions through flowers. Jones is a product of the Foster Care System and has spent much of her life in solitude.
At the age of 18, Victoria is liberated from the system and must find somewhere to be. It is in a local park she finds her first home she plants her own garden and is discovered by a local florist.
Victoria's gift of sharing her "Language of Flowers" blesses many lives including her own as she is able to grapple with her own path while forging her future. She is a "bartender" of floral shops so to speak.
Language of Flowers is a story of becoming somebody... for Victoria it is a story of becoming somebody far more than she was taught she could be.
