Aunt Flory is suddenly thrust into the role of triplets' mother when her sister passes away and the whereabouts of the father is unknown. She plays the role of a guardian very beautifully. Would the girls know about their father? Congratulations on BOTD!

This coming-of-age story narrates the story of triplet girls raised by their aunt after their mother's death. Aunt Flory takes on this responsibility with kindness and humility. The girls are also tasked with solving their father's disappearance. What will they uncover?

Bugs, Weeds, and Water? To say the least, this title is fascinatingly weird—I love it! Anyway, raising triplets, especially girls, must take its toll on parents, let alone a single mom. I think this read offers unimaginable insight into parenting. Congrats on being the BOTD.

From the novel's title,Bugs,Weeds and Water ,I thought it would be of an agricultural book but am baffled to find out it a family novel.I applaud the author of this great creativity.

Family is more than blood. Seeing aunty Flora take care of her sister's children selflessly is so heartwarming. Great review.

I've always known that family transcends direct relatives. Growing up, we always had people come to live with us. My parents made sure to treat as good as us, if not better (much to my chagrin at the time). But I learned a great lesson that family isn't only about blood relationship. Thank God that Aunt Flory was available to look after the triplets and give them a semblance of family.

It is fascinating and commendable that Aunt Flory is there for her nieces. I wonder whether they will find their father, though, and the impact of the discovery. One other aspect that I find captivating is the appreciation of nature. I look forward to reading the book.
