At the top of a hill, in a small English village is a flower shop for the damned.

Belladona's Garden Emporium serves ghosts, ghouls and goblins, but more interesting than it's clientele, is it's owner. After half a century of living cursed and alone, Fern bitterly resorts to starting a journal in hopes of coming to terms with their lifetime in a world in-between. Lost in forgotten love letters from a time of war, customers of myth and legend, and a lack of true identity, follow Fern as they look back on fifty years as a stranger in their own skin.
