Everyone makes mistakes, but, unfortunately, some mistakes are worse than others. Those blunders can cause ripples that turn into waves that seem like they are bound and determined to take you under, and it takes a strong person to find their way back to the shore.
In the Delicate Flowers series, you’ll meet women who are working to turn their lives around after time spent in prison by finding a place to call home and a support system that can help keep them on track.
Through trauma, drama, and heartache, these women have found their inner strength and are using it to create a new life free from the troubles that sent them to prison in the first place. It won’t be an easy road, and reconnecting with family while trying to secure a job and a safe place to live will push them to their limits.
But, as everyone knows, most women aren’t delicate like a flower, they’re delicate like a bomb - and once the fuse is lit, there’s no stopping them.
Help Cee Bowerman cheer them on and find a community that supports them and maybe a love that makes them even stronger. Set in Rojo, Texas, the home of many of Cee’s book series, readers will encounter beloved characters they’ve known for years and meet new people along the way.
Enjoy your time in Rojo, and make sure to take time to stop and smell the flowers while you get to know the real ones who aren’t nearly as delicate as people seem to think.
Farrah Seaverson is living proof that while a person may make mistakes, mistakes don’t make the person. After years of incarceration, she has finally learned the hard lessons from the choices she made that riddled her life with pain and loneliness, and she’s ready to start a new life, free from the addictions that controlled her before.
After so many years away from her son, whether because of the poison she was putting into her body or the price she ended up paying for her bad decisions, she decided to settle down in Rojo, Texas, where he’s made a life for himself with the support of his adopted family. Their relationship is different now, not just because he’s an adult, but also because she’s gotten sober.
Unfortunately, after so many years of back and forth, it can be difficult for the ones who tried to help only to watch you fail repeatedly to be convinced that you’re truly ready to succeed.
Lynn Serrano is a happy father and a successful business owner who is fighting a different kind of battle, this one because of poor choices his daughter made that affected her children. Her addiction and the crimes she committed because of it made mothering her children impossible, and it’s up to Lynn to step in and raise the next generation of his family. He knows he can’t let anything get in the way of that.
A chance meeting introduces two very different people, but the attraction they feel quickly turns into something that they both feel is worth the fight. Luckily, they’re not alone this time. Through assumptions, misunderstandings, and a lot of laughter, Lynn and Farrah gratefully accept the second chance that life has given them and turn it into their own happily ever after.
Join Cee Bowerman in Rojo, Texas as she explores what it’s like for women who have worked so hard to get to a brighter place yet still have more work to do to find their own happily ever after. This series will have references to some of her other work, and you’ll even be able to catch up with characters you’ve already grown to love as you accompany these delicate flowers on their journey toward realizing that they’re really not delicate at all.
Serana’s one-year plan after her release from prison:
Spend the first year of freedom focused on recovery and staying sober while creating a new life in a new town, surrounded by people who understand how important reaching this goal is.
Don’t get sidetracked by the ups and downs of dating, and don’t lose sight of the end goal - focus on what you have to do to make a difference in the world after causing so much chaos and pain while in active addiction.
It’s not going to be easy, but with hard work and dedication, Serana’s goal is attainable, and she’s not going to let anything get in her way.
Of course, the universe has other ideas.
Roscoe Hamilton is more than happy to stand by her side and become her biggest cheerleader. The electricity he feels every time he’s near her isn’t as important as support her in her efforts, but it’s enough to make him understand that making Serana happy is his long-term goal - and it’s going to last a lifetime.
From dance partners to a hesitant friendship that turns into something wonderful, follow Serana and Roscoe through the ups and downs of creating a life together surrounded by friends and family who are happy to cheer them both on.
