"In elementary school, Chloe Hanako Quinn is assigned Oliver Jones as her pen pal partner. It would be the beginning of a friendship that would bloom until Oliver and his family disappear without a trace. Now Chloe is a high school guidance counselor in New York City. But life is not what she dreamed it would be. She gives herself a pep talk via uplifting messages written on yellow origami paper that she folds into roses. A desire to spread kindness and optimism is sparked in Chloe, who begins folding more roses and leaving them around town. When a specific one finds its way into Oliver's hands, it changes his life forever." -- Back cover
