NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR BY Goodreads, Essence, Sunset Magazine, SheReads, BookBub, and more!

From acclaimed author Terah Shelton Harris comes a poignant story of survival and redemption that questions what it means to stop existing and start living.

Leigh is the last of the Wildes. She knows this because she watched them all die.

Grief never truly fades and even as the tragedy haunts her, Leigh carries on, because survival is in her blood. So, when the transport bus taking her to prison careens off the road, killing everyone onboard except her, she does what’s in her nature. She survives.

While searching for a place to hide, Leigh stumbles upon an unexpected sanctuary: a flower farm in rural Alabama tucked away from the world. What Leigh doesn’t expect is the found family there who have built something from the wreckage of their own lives. Especially Jackson, the farm’s owner, who sees through Leigh’s defenses, offers her small moments of tenderness, encourages her to face her own tragedies. Slowly, Leigh finds peace with the hard pace and soft nature of the farm, taking comfort in the life blooming around her. Maybe she’s not beyond redemption, not too broken for something good. And maybe, just maybe, Leigh starts to heal.

But the past isn't so easily buried.

No matter how far she runs, the truth of who she is and the ghosts of the Wildes follow. And when those secrets catch up to her, threatening everything she’s come to love, Leigh will have to truly face what she can survive.

This book took me on a journey that resembles my current state in a different way.

Sometimes, you are stuck in a series of bad situations through no fault of yours. You somehow resign yourself to expect the worse and get ready to handle the next bad situation, however, life can surprise you when you least expect it with a season of Joy.

I would have been so disappointed if story ended without Leigh enjoying some form of happiness. I love the ending, it gave me hope to carry on.

Thank God for the Epilogue

This was such a beautiful story.
The journey, the seasons, the growth. The different stages of grief that we went through with all the characters, were so beautifully written and so powerful.

I think there are so many layers in this book, I can really see myself rereading it and finding something new.

I absolutely loved it
highly recommend.

Amazing book full of descriptions of emotions, feelings that felt so real as you journeyed through the book. The feelings of sadness, loss, grief and love all woven through so incredibly. A story of how a life can be altered based on the love of people and the power of nature, yoga and grounding to heal from trauma. Survival turning into living. An amazing thought provoking book.

Incredible story of the healing power of nature and love.
