Summary from Goodreads:
On September 25, 1995, Dr. Annie Elizabeth (Bessie) Delany died at home
in Mount Vernon, New York, marking the end of not only an extraordinary life,
but of a century-long relationship with her cherished older sister, Sarah.
Now, after a quiet year of mourning and reflection,
and inspired by Bessie's beloved garden,
Sarah has composed a collection of warm memories and delightful anecdotes,
illustrated throughout with paintings of Bessie's favorite flowers.
