Where Wildflowers Bloom (Sisters at Heart Book #1): A Novel
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 Oregon 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?
The characters in Where Wildflowers Bloom jump off the page
and into the reader's heart. Author Ann Shorey infuses her
characters with the virtues and quirks that bring them fully alive
as they search for contentment and love.
From the Back Cover
How far will she go to follow her dreams?
The Civil War 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 Oregon 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, Faith allows herself to hope
that she and Royal will finally wed. But does he truly love her? Or
will another man claim her heart?
"Where Wildflowers Bloom invites you to settle down over by
the checkerboard at Lindberg's Mercantile Store and get to know the
people of Noble Springs as they put the sorrows of the Civil War
behind them and embrace life and love anew. Ann Shorey has come up
with an appealing mix of history and romance that readers are sure
to enjoy."--Ann H. Gabhart, author of The Blessed and
Words Spoken True
"The authenticity of Where Wildflowers Bloom transported me
straight to post-Civil War times, yet the characters--their hopes,
dreams, conflicts, and fears--all rang contemporarily true. Another
winner from Ann Shorey!"--Christina Berry, Christy-nominated and
Carol Award-winning author of The Familiar
