Wildflowers from Winter

fullDescription

Like the winter, grief has a season. Life returns with the spring.

A young architect at a prestigious Chicago firm, Bethany Quinn has built the life she dreamed of during her teen years in a trailer park. An unexpected interruption from her estranged mother reveals that tragedy has struck in her hometown and a reluctant Bethany is called back to rural Iowa.

Determined to pay her respects to her past while avoiding any emotional entanglements, she vows not to stay long. But the unexpected inheritance of five hundred acres of farmland and a startling turn of events in Chicago forces Bethany to come up with a new plan.

Handsome farmhand Evan Price has taken care of the Quinn farm for years. When Bethany is left the land, Evan must fight her decisions to realize his dreams. But even as he disagrees with Bethany's vision, Evan feels drawn to her and the pain she keeps so carefully locked away.

For Bethany, making peace with her past and the God of her childhood doesn't seem like the path to freedom. Is letting go the only way to new life, love and a peace that she's not even sure exists?

     Bethany Quinn left her trailer park years in rural Iowa behind when she moved to Chicago to accept a position at a prestigious law firm. She grabbed her future with gusto and never once looked back. Then she receives a call from her estranged mother, informing her that Bethany's best friend's husband has died. Bethany plans to go home for a few short days to pay her respects, but fate has other plans when she unexpectedly inherits 500 acres of farmland. Evan Pierce has cared for the farm for years and is not pleased with the decisions Bethany makes. Still, there is an unmistakable connection between the two. Can Bethany make peace with her past so that she can forge a future with Evan? VERDICT Themes of loss and redemption, believable characters, and a realistic view of life's challenges make this debut a worthwhile, gut-wrenching read. Recommended for fans of Francine Rivers.
