The Sunflower's Lament

A young girl always dreams of going somewhere far away. She gets into a taxi bound for a psychiatric hospital and works as a counselor...

Sunflowers is the nickname given to these patients, as well as a hope for them.

Through the girl's eyes, we get to know their lives.

Excerpt: After the storm, I looked at the broken sunflowers, and the faith in my heart crumbled. For the first time, I realized that the heart could cry, too. I knew I couldn't save these people, just as I couldn't save these bent and broken sunflowers. I crouched down and used clear tape and red string to bind the broken stems back together. Some of them actually came back to life.
