Book Description:
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 Café, the
brainchild of Blanche and Sydney actively encouraged by Max and Lexy. The Café
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.
Excerpt
“Why
don’t we open a business? Like a simple sandwich and coffee shop,” Sydney
announced with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
“A sandwich shop?” Blanche asked, looking surprised and a
bit taken aback.
“Yeah, why not?”
While Sydney waited for an answer, Blanche just looked at
her, dumbfounded
“Sydney,
I would love to open a sandwich shop, but it takes a lot of money--money that
we just don’t have.”
“Oh
please, Aunt Blanche! I bet you can get a loan from the bank. It will be
exciting!” Sydney pleaded.
“I don’t think that your uncle will approve. Sydney I
love your idea, truly do! I was taken aback at first, because it has always
been a dream of mine to open a little shop of some kind on Main Street,”
Blanche said wistfully. ”It costs a lot of money to open up a business, besides
I have an offer for a job in Prescott.”
“Pooh on Uncle Dean, and turn down that job. For me,
please? You can ask Annette how to open a business--she will know, since she
owns her own business.” Sydney said begging her aunt.
“I will think about it, okay,
Sydney?” Blanche said making her way to her closet and picking out a dress.
