Where Wildflowers Bloom

By Ann Shorey

Description:

The War Between the States stole a father and brother from Faith Lindberg-- as well as Royal Baxter, the man she wanted to marry.

With only her grandfather left, she dreams of leaving Noble Springs, Missouri, and traveling west to the Oregon Territory to start a new life, away from the memories that haunt her.

But first she must convince her grandfather to sell the family's mercantile and leave a town their family has called home for generations.

When Royal Baxter suddenly returns to town, Faith allows herself to hope that her dreams might come true. Does he truly love her? Or could another man claim her heart?

Will she find that following her dreams may not mean leaving home after all?

Book Takeaway:

You can't run away from your problems. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wondered what life was like for women who had to pick up the pieces of their lives following the Civil War. I created Faith Lindberg to help answer my questions.
