Vanessa Diffenbaugh writes contemporary literary fiction about foster care, family separation and people trying to build stable lives after difficult childhoods. The Language of Flowers follows Victoria Jones, who ages out of the foster system and uses her knowledge of Victorian flower meanings while working in a florist, even as relationships from her past begin to return. We Never Asked for Wings centres on a mother struggling to raise her children after their grandmother leaves, bringing immigration status, education and family responsibility into the story. Diffenbaugh's books are accessible and character-led, with practical work and everyday decisions carrying much of the emotional weight. Her work fits contemporary family fiction, foster-care fiction and relationship-driven literary drama. Read more Less
