    “ Heal the Hydrangeas deals with loss, empathy, and healing. And more than that, Cassidy Byron deals with religion and spirituality with a remarkable sensitivity and insight. Really well done. ”

    “ Wholesome and hilarious, Heal the Hydrangeas hits hard right in the feels. Sometimes the first step in healing is to break into a church, clutching a potted plant. ”
