Wildflowers from Winter

Published May 2, 2012 | By worryfreemom


Bethany Quinn has her life all figured out.  She has everything she’s always dreamed of–a prestigious job as an architect, nice clothes, and a nice car.  She has wiped the tragedy of her childhood from her life and re-made herself into an independent woman who doesn’t need help from anyone–or from God.  In doing so, she has also severed the relationships with the people who mean the most to her–her Grandpa Dan and her best friend, Robin.

When her mother calls to ask Bethany to come home, she reluctantly travels back to the home she hasn’t seen in 10 years, where she finds that the connections she thought were severed are still there.  When her carefully planned life falls apart and she inherits her Grandpa’s farm, Bethany finds herself having to choose between the safety of her carefully constructed life and the scary reality of letting go and giving her life back to God.

Katie Ganshert tells Bethany’s story beautifully in Wildflowers from Winter, which is available May 8th.  Written from the perspectives of Bethany, her best friend Robin, and Robin’s brother-in-law, Evan, the story carefully unwraps the layers of each person’s heart.  The story delves into the choice that we all must make–the choice whether or not to trust God.  Bad things happen to all of us, and those tragedies can bring us closer to God or further away–it’s our choice.  The title is an apt choice, as we learn in the story that the most beautiful wildflowers often come from the harshest winters.  Bethany and the other characters find that the same is true in our lives.

Wildflowers from Winter is a great book, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Wishing on Willows.
