In the second novel in the Wildflower House series, the author of The Memory of Butterflies reminds us that to achieve our dreams, we must first open our hearts.
Kara Hart suffered overwhelming heartache when she lost her mother and husband, and her fatherβs sudden death might be the blow that breaks herβunless she turns her grief into purpose. Sheβll finish renovating his Victorian mansion in rural Virginia, but with her own twist. Sheβll turn the old house into a creative retreat for artists and writers.
Kara has never tackled a project this big alone, and sheβs not ready to open her heart to others for help. But the locals open their hearts to herβincluding two who have the potential to be more than friends. She tells herself she doesnβt need romance or distractions, but maybe thatβs exactly what she needs. When her former best friend reenters Karaβs life, it could be the distraction that finally destroys herβor heals her.
The tragedies in Karaβs life have damaged her self-confidence, but she presses forward, gradually lowering her protective walls and allowing others in little by little. Will bringing Wildflower House back to life and freeing her own creative spirit also allow her to open her heart to hope and happinessβand maybe even love?
