The author moves between her mother, grandmother, and grandfather, presenting their stories in the form of letters and diary entries. "e;I can't think of any other way, so I will write you a letter to tell you what troubles me. I will write the secret and bury it in a park or a forest, adding some honey to mask the bitterness. I will plant a flower on top of it, the most beautiful flower in the place. When you find the secret, Mother, and feel sad, please accept the flowers that will accompany it as a small comfort and a kiss from me."e;
