The Flowers That Remained

Two years after the American Civil War, master tailor and army veteran Henry Miller risks everything to separate from his callous wife and relocate to a small town, hoping to give him and his daughter some peace. The nightmares don't stop, however, and now he must also contend with nosy neighbors and the challenges of raising a daughter on his own. It’s so much easier to sit at the sewing machine and block everything else out. The townspeople are curious about this reclusive newcomer, especially his odd behaviors and stately fashion. Claire Watt is no exception, no matter how hard she tries not to judge. After a chance encounter with Mr. Miller’s daughter, she knows she must do something to protect this child and offers to become her tutor. Somehow, Mr. Miller agrees. Claire soon finds that there's more to this man than meets the eye and wonders if he might need some help too, never imagining where it might lead them. Can the wounded and the wary learn to see past their walls? The Flowers That Remained is a clean, slow burn romance/family drama about finding hope and love in unexpected places.
