You can’t have it all. At least, not forever. Luz Wilkinson learned the hard way that balancing a career, marriage, and motherhood can end in absolute destruction of heart and soul. When the biological mother of her daughter tears the child away and ruins her reputation, Luz goes home to tiny Rose Creek to rethink life and ambition. She surrounds herself with discarded animals and plans never to care again. Widower Aaron Estes lives for his daughter, Chloe. Fleeing from the horror of losing his wife in a school shooting, Aaron stops in Rose Creek on a whim and a random act of kindness from a gas station clerk - not a lot to build a life on, but a momentary redemption from his sorrow and fears for his daughter. Prompted by counselor Esmeralda Salinas, he takes Chloe to the Wilkinson place for therapeutic riding lessons, and finds Luz everything he wants in a mother for his daughter - but Esmeralda’s open pursuit is a problem. Burned by her divorce, Luz refuses any relationship involving another woman or a man with another woman’s child. Unlimited love for their children comes easily - but will they ever be able to conquer past pain and love each other? Sensuality Level: Behind Closed Doors

Book Description
Manifestos are public declarations that aim to both inform and inspire. They are written as if to say: This is who I am. Care to join me? Six years ago, in the midst of some pretty serious heartache, I filled a journal a story of personal redemption. My book, Wildflowers Don’t Grow in Rows, was born from that journal and I am now carving out a life for myself based on its principles, outlined here in the Wildflower Manifesto. This is who I am. Care to join me? I’m so grateful to you for downloading a copy and hope that it inspires you to (re)claim your own hero’s journey, not taking the easy path, but the path that is right for you. We have a whole community of Wildflowers growing on social media and in online courses. I hope you’ll join us there. When we speak our truths, others feel liberated to do the same.
