Flower's time in high school was spent being bullied by his peers and painting in his basement studio. Creating was his escape. The studio was a safe place for the quiet, androgynous vegan boy who feared walking down the hallway. When a comic he creates becomes a commercial success, he foregoes college to pursue his real dream to travel. He moves to East Africa where he learns that the bubble he grew up in was much smaller than he realized and that the high school drama he endured was actually not nearly as severe as he once imagined. The one-way ticket to Tanzania and the adventures that follow teach Flower about love, confidence, perseverance, heartbreak, and true suffering. It's on the road that he learns the world is much bigger than the comfort zones we create for ourselves at home.
