The Flower Girls

By: Shannon K Price

Narrated by: Shannon Price

In the United States, about 840,000 children are reported missing each year. This is more than 2,100 children daily, or one child discovered missing every 40 seconds. However, another 500,000 children go missing without ever being reported.

The Flower Girls is a story about three girls of different descent growing up in Chicago's Southside from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Rose, Iris, and Lily find a bond and connection that transcends time. The Flower Girls evolves into something big, frightening, haunting, and timely. The story follows these three girls who become fast friends in the fifth grade. Seeing their lives through the years and in the eyes of friends and family can be disturbing, dark, enlightening, and full of twists. It includes stories of human trafficking, drugs, civil unrest, and civil rights and how the girls prevail until they don't.

Detectives Dillon and Valentine, along with police help, factor into the story. Corruption in the police department is rampant.

A surprise ending leads into the next installment of the trilogy.

Great True Crime events with fictional characters!

The first book of a trilogy. This book has fantastic character development and just when you wonder if anything will happen...bam EVERYTHING happens. The end of this book leads into Book Two, then Book Two leads into Book Three.
All books are available. The audiobook for Book Two: Lily's Camera is coming soon, and I cannot WAIT! The paperback was thrilling, and so was Book Three. Keep these coming! I loved that the author narrated and made each character sound different.
