It was very difficult to choose between New York (my native state) and Georgia (my adopted state where I live now). I love them both and greatly appreciate their similarities and differences. When I was researching facts about Georgia I found this legend about the Cherokee Rose and it inspired me because out of so much sadness something beautiful bloomed.
