The Secret Sense of Wildflower - Southern Historical Fiction, Best Book of 2012

The 1940's were tough in Appalachia. They were especially hard for 13-year old Louisa May Wildflower McAllister. The sawmill took her father. It devastated her mother.

Could they overcome the grief?

Wildflower is tough, but the loss of her father is just the first hardship. Where would the money come from?

And survival isn't the only threat.

When Johnny Monroe, the town's teenage ne'er-do-well, sets his sights on Wildflower, she must draw on the strength of her relations, both living and dead, to deal with his threat.

With prose as lush and colorful as the American South, The Secret Sense of Wildflower is powerful and poignant, brimming with energy and angst, humor and hope.
