**Like the winter, grief has a season. Life returns with the spring.**
A young architect at a prestigious Chicago firm, Bethany Quinn has built the life she dreamed of during her teen years in a trailer park. An unexpected interruption from her estranged mother reveals that tragedy has struck in her hometown and a reluctant Bethany is called back to rural Iowa.
Determined to pay her respects to her past while avoiding any emotional entanglements, she vows not to stay long. But the unexpected inheritance of five hundred acres of farmland and a startling turn of events in Chicago forces Bethany to come up with a new plan.
Handsome farmhand Evan Price has taken care of the Quinn farm for years. When Bethany is left the land, Evan must fight her decisions to realize his dreams. But even as he disagrees with Bethany’s vision, Evan feels drawn to her and the pain she keeps so carefully locked away.
For Bethany, making peace with her past and the God of her childhood doesn’t seem like the path to freedom. Is letting go the only way to new life, love and a peace that she’s not even sure exists?

Bethany Quinn is twenty-eight years old, living her dream life as an architect in Chicago, about to move in with her handsome lawyer boyfriend. She gets a telephone call from her estranged mother, saying that her childhood best friend, Robin, is facing the imminent death of her husband in their home town of Peaks, Iowa, population 1,539. Bethany hasn't seen Robin since she Peaks ten years ago, so is reluctant to visit now. But when her mother calls again, to say that her beloved grandfather has had a heart attack, Bethany feels compelled to make a short visit. There were a couple of negatives. The romance side of the plot was a bit understated (although that's obviously personal preference), as is the faith aspect (ditto). But overall, I'd encourage readers to look beyond the cover, because Wildflowers in Winter is a touching story of love, loss, and the importance of discovering God for ourselves, not relying on the words and actions of others. This is the debut novel from author Katie Ganshert, and a sequel, Wishing on Willows, is in progress. Thanks to WaterBrook and BloggingforBooks for providing a free ebook for review.
