Review
A wonderfully well written book by an extremely intelligent young lady. To see her grow from babe to youth from want to can do. Growing up with contemporary heroes revealing timeless truth, Olivia has written a stopping place to rest, recover, and reflect. Extremely well done. --Larry Baker, Sr. Chairman of The Board of Baker Companies

Amelia meets each day with whole-hearted energy bent on adventure. This seemingly modern-day boxcar child causes us to appreciate along with her the beauty in nature and the excitement of exploring her very own Neverland. Our hearts break with Amelia's as she adjusts and grows through painful moments and misunderstandings with neighborhood friends. Both touching and teaching, Flower Picker can be instrumental in reminding young people of the importance of guarding their hearts. --Blanche Mills, home-school mom and mother of eight
