In The Light of Hidden Flowers by Jennifer Handford, we are introduced to a touching and realistic relationship between a father and his daughter. Posted first to Blog Critics as Book Review: 'The Light of Hidden Flowers,' A Novel by Jennifer Handford. With characters you come to care about (especially Missy, who you'll be rooting for all the way), it's perfect for when you need a little pick-me-up. Not to sound all Oprah, but The Light of Hidden Flowers is one of those wonderful books that really makes you think about how you're living your own life. When Frank develops Alzheimer's and ultimately passes away, it's a letter he leaves Missy that helps her to turn her life around, becoming more assertive, contacting a lost love, and even getting over her fear of the airplane to do something great. Missy's dream has always been to go to Italy, but her debilitating fear of flying has kept her grounded. A force to be reckoned with, Frank loves life, enjoys it immensely, and can't understand why his daughter is content to just sit in the background, going home every night to her Jeopardy reruns, Facebook lurking, and pistachio gelato. Frank Fletcher is Missy's only family member, as her mother died when Missy was very young and she doesn't have any siblings. Missy Fletcher is a partner in her father's financial firm. What does it mean to really live? Are we meant to take life by the horns and suck every ounce we can out of it, or is better to just sit back and let others do it? In Jennifer Handford's The Light of Hidden Flowers, the answer is pretty clear, and the main character's journey to this realization is one that readers will love taking with her. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read an advanace copy. But I’m going to move on to something more quirky and meaty. Missy is quite likable and the underlying message is fine. But I see that many of the ratings are fairly high and I expect that many readers will enjoy this book. As I said, where this goes is quite predictable and I must admit to having only really scanned the last 20%. There’s also a lost love in the background, and a steady but dull current boyfriend. And off she goes on an adventure in search of a more meaningful life. At first, she is furious and then she starts to see that he may have a point. Her father dies and leaves her a letter suggesting that she try a more adventurous life. She has always been close to her father and chosen a straight and unadventurous life, working in partnership as a financial adviser wither her father. Missy’s mother died when she was four years old. After a while, my need for something light waned as did my interest. When I started it, I had just finished a very heavy book and something light seemed like the right thing. I expect that many people will enjoy it, but it wasn’t really for me. I probably shouldn’t have read The Light of Hidden Flowers.

No visit is complete without catching a show at one of the most interesting movie theaters in L.A.
Not much of a secret in Los Angeles, the TCL Chinese Theatre is one of the largest IMAX auditoriums in the world. Built around an already existing house, this hidden place in Los Angeles is both strange and aesthetically pleasing-just ask the neighbors. The Frank Gehry Residence is arguably one of the most head-spinning works the architect has created. The Bubble House was created by inflating a giant balloon, covering it with spray concrete, and finally, deflating the balloon- iconic architecture in L.A. Architect Wallace Niff is the mastermind behind the only remaining Airform house in the United States.
