The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart

I read The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart by Holly Ringland which is set in Australia.  Alice grows up with her violent father and her mother who tries to keep the peace in their insular household.  Alice doesn't go to school, she doesn't leave her family property.  When tragedy strikes, Alice is sent to live with her grandmother on an unusual flower farm.  Alice is taught that flowers have meanings.  She grows up on the farm and then story is about her life there and living with the ghosts of the past.  31/2/5
