A MAN GOES HOME TO BURY HIS MOTHER BUT FINDS HIMSELF.
Connor Norton returns to his hometown, following the death of his mother, knowing that he will have to confront personal feelings of guilt and regret. It is a place he has barely set foot in for the past 20 years.
Caught in the period of his life where the vibrancy of youth has diminished and the prospect of becoming middle-aged is looming, Connor finds that he is suddenly alone in the world and must somehow reshape his future and face his own mortality.
With only Tom, the family's orange tabby cat, as his constant companion, he considers new possibilities and new directions. But will Connor be able to lay the ghosts of his past to rest? And will his return later, to the place he once called home, be enough to let him break free from the remorse which he has carried since he was 18?
In this tender, heartwarming portrait of a man who finds himself trapped between his past, his present and the future, where will this new journey lead Connor and what will the future hold when he gets there?

Love this book
I’ve previously read this book from Suen and loved it so was very excited to get my ears on the audio version. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing this book to life and pulling the reader in. Very engaging and very moving. Here’s hoping the rest of the series will come to audio soon as well!
Beautifully Written
Flowers in December by Jane Suen
Narrated by Rich Miller
Four Stars
Flowers in December is a self enlightening story by Jane Suen. I have read three or four books by Ms. Suen, but I have to say I think this is my favorite so far. This story was personal for me having lost my mother this last year. This short story was beautifully written and very emotional. This book had me from the first page to the last. Conner Norton’s struggle with grief is prominent in this story as he returns to his hometown town for his mother’s funeral. After the funeral he stays to get his family affairs in order, which brings on self reflection. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster, I definitely needed my box of tissues. Conner’s strength of character made this story flow. I highly recommend this book.
This is the first book narrated by Rich Miller, but definitely won’t be the last. I really enjoyed his voice and he really brought the characters to life.
