Where Wilted Flowers Bloom

Description

From the multi award-winning author of An American Immigrant comes the story of a woman walking through paralyzing grief and the unlikely friendship that might unlock a path to healing.

Leaving behind the only city she’s known, Sandra and her family move from New York City to East Nashville for her husband’s job and a fresh start. She’ll miss her family and thriving career, but she is desperate to leave behind the city that holds her greatest loss.

And yet even with moving into a new home she designed and having the freedom to be a stay-at-home mom for the first time, her new life in Nashville is not what she thought it would be. She quickly realizes grief still follows her, and no new place can fix it.

When she meets her next-door neighbor Mark—an elderly, widowed, retired Pastor—an unlikely friendship quickly forms. His humor, spiritual wisdom, and affinity for gardening—a skill he was forced to learn when his late wife passed—brings a welcome reprieve from Sandra’s suffocating grief, giving her hope for the first time since her tragic loss. Will this friendship be just what Sandra needs to heal her broken heart? Or will more unexpected news leave Sandra with even more heartache?
