A beautifully woven work of historical fiction, inspired by an 1880-1881 journey through Greece, Jerusalem, and Egypt, this story draws from a treasured scrapbook of pressed flowers and leaves gathered along the way. Blending botanical discovery with vivid depictions of sacred landscapes and ancient cities, the narrative captures the spirit of 19th-century travel in the Near East. Perfect for readers who love travel, plants, and history, this book brings the past to life through nature, memory, and imagination.
