      Abused by his mother and her boyfriend, Georgie Burgess learns to hide his hurt. He withdraws into a safe and secret world of beautiful gardens filled with roses; Just like those in the library book he treasures.

      When Georgie wins a small rosebush in a grocery store lottery he gives it all the love and caring he has never had.
