Wildflower

In this beautiful and moving story of love, growth, and redemption among the stunning red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, Sydney-a teenaged Army orphan-discovers that love knows no bounds and life has many twists and turns of fate. After she is forced to move in with her late mother's sister Blanche and Blanche's abusive alcoholic husband Dean, Sidney finds purpose and friendship in Lexy, the daughter of Max Heller the City's most prominent widower and business magnate. Unknowingly, the girls' antics awaken Blanche's lost and suppressed passions and stirs Max's long-thwarted drive to build a loving and complete family. What emerges is the wonderfully successful Epicurian Caf , the brainchild of Blanche and Sydney actively encouraged by Max and Lexy. The Caf quickly becomes a center of the community, the start of a new life for Blanche and Sydney, and a chance for Max and Lexy to discover true love and the meaning of commitment. An emotional roller-coaster with its exciting twists and turns, Wildflower is an exhilarating and satisfying read.
