Twenty-one-year-old Caitlin Stevens blossoms this summer, just like the oriental lilies and pot marigolds in her father's prized flower garden had done several weeks before. While home from college, her self-confidence takes a gargantuan leap forward, when she discovers that she's beautiful through the unexpected attentions of hotshot lawyer Trey Walters, a neighbor on whom she's had a secret crush for years. Caitlin's new-found confidence gives her the courage to stop relying on the opinions of her sister Heather, persevere despite her mother's lack of affection; and in the end, to side with her God, even though it means possibly losing the man she loves.
