Wildflower Hope (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542043885)

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 father's sudden death might be the blow that breaks her--unless she turns her grief into purpose. She'll finish renovating his Victorian mansion in rural Virginia, but with her own twist. She'll turn the old house into a creative retreat for artists and writers.

Kara has never tackled a project this big alone, and she's not ready to open her heart to others for help. But the locals open their hearts to her--including two who have the potential to be more than friends. She tells herself she doesn't need romance or distractions, but maybe that's exactly what she needs. When her former best friend reenters Kara's life, it could be the distraction that finally destroys her--or heals her.

The tragedies in Kara's 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 happiness--and maybe even love?
