After Mom's recent passing, it seems way too soon. Talking to Dad has always been harder than with Mom, but now it's like walking on eggshells. And why did Dad bring so many of Mom's houseplants across the country? Her mother might have been called the \"plant whisperer\" back home, but Adara is beginning to wonder if there is something more to it. But when she meets a little succulent named Perle, she unlocks the same magical ability her mother had: talking to plants! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut taking care of Perle isn't as easy as it seems -- the environment isn't suited for her, and Adara doesn't know how to meet her needs.
