Melinda is a florist. She doesn't want to be. But things haven't worked out the way Melinda LeBlanc would have guessed from her days as the belle of Harrow High School. At thirty, she's unmarried and romanced out, designing wedding bouquets for her old classmates. Libby Getchel fits the bill as a friend and confidante -- and both women are glad that Dennis Vaughan, an attractive single black man, has opened a shop just a few doors down. Lipman has written a novel about friendship on Main Street, and about getting lucky in love after giving up hope.
