I really loved this book. I have a long commute to work and am in grad school, so most of my reading is done from audio books. The audio version of this was also great. I loved the story and the ... Read full review

Wow! For such a simple story, i didn't want it to end! This book was told between two narratives, two generations and two vastly different times. I'm not sure whose narrative I enjoyed more, but felt ... Read full review

Wildflower Hill gets off to a slow start, but I was completely hooked once I get in to the story. The novel ties together the stories of a young woman and her grandmother. Neither woman seems like ... Read full review
