What People Are Saying

Reviews

"It is a cleverly told story about a very difficult and important subject—dementia. As a story that touches on the very core of what makes us human—our memories, I personally recommend Forgotten Flowers."

Jane Kotowski

"Great book. All in all, the book provided a fascinating look into a world most know little about. This book possesses the potential to revolutionize the way many see the elderly"

Kelly GroundsBrookdale Senior Living

"Forgotten Flowers offers good insight into a segment of our society that is forgotten. Elderly people are put away in rest homes and then never get any visits from their immediate family. The book parallels real life with compassion and understanding."

Ciria C. Ghiorso

The author weaves intrigue, romance, greed, pride, infidelity, selfishness, treachery, deceit, evil, and even murder into a roller coaster ride that grips the reader. The upside is: perhaps many hearts will be motivated by this story to share their time and kindness to the Forgotten Flowers throughout the world. A terrific read that will stir your emotions and keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Dream Seeker

Dylan Steward is a young man who has elected to live the safe life of a newspaper reporter—a life without risks or danger—while ignoring his true passion. Although he is quite successful in his writing career, the tragic death of his beautiful wife leaves his life vacant and pointless. Carrying his feelings of desperation and loss over into his work, his writing career is soon headed to the trash bin. But ironically, a special assignment leads him to pursue an old dream as a jazz musician, where he finally realizes his true meaning in life. The repercussions of this job assignment change both Dylan’s and his employer’s lives forever.

The Dream Seeker follows Mr. Sullivan’s emotionally charged Forgotten Flowers trilogy.
