Apprentice to the Flower Poet Z.

I read Flower Poet and Between Friends by Debbie Macomber yesterday. I'd have to say that I'd rate them pretty closely together, though for different reasons. If you are looking for a gentle read, with characters who give you hope for the world, try the Macomber book. If you are looking for a sharp look at the creative writing world, with characters who consistently disappoint, go for Flower Poet.
