A review by vhardman
Wildflower Heart by Grace Greene

5.0

People have a way of developing ideas and beliefs of themselves and others than may not actually be accurate. We wrap ourselves in cocoons that make us believe what we want to believe as true and accurate and do so to keep ourselves safe or so we think, without sometimes having to face the reality of the truth. Kara has been surrounded by tragedy and when a tragic accident takes the life of her husband and unborn child she returns to her one safe haven, her father. While recovering from the accident, Kara begins to find out things about her mother, her father and herself she didn’t know or understand. Her father buys a dilapidated old mansion in the country and Kara is taken by the wildflowers growing in the backyard. As time goes on she makes new friends and starts to understand and see things in herself and those around her that will transform her just like the wildflowers transform through the seasons.

Grace Greene has written a beautiful and poignant story that had this reader reflecting on how I view certain things. The imagery and feeling the story provoked runs the reader through a gamut of emotions and leaves ready for the story in the series.

I truly enjoyed this book. I recommend any of Grace Greene’s books highly. If you haven’t read any of them this would not be a bad book to start with.
