Wildflowers from Winter by Katie Ganshert

Young, successful architect Bethany Quinn returns to her hated childhood home to show support for the best friend she hasn't spoken to in years. After making the trip because she feels it's the right thing to do, she returns to her life only to be called back to the same hated hometown a few weeks later. From the tragedy of that second visit, her life begins to unravel and no longer fit her plan.

Stuck in a town she hates, rebuilding a precarious relationship with a long lost childhood friend, Bethany finds herself trying to find her way; trying to determine why her life isn't going as she planned.

I enjoyed this book and the story line, although the writing style at times was a bit confusing. The majority of the story is told in third person but a few chapters slip into first person as Bethany tells her own story. The switch is sudden each time it happens and took my by surprise every time.

Overall, it's a good story; a good first effort. The storyline is good and it caused me to look at some of the relationships in my own life. The acknowledgments indicate there is another book coming and I will look for it as I truly enjoyed these characters and watching them develop.

I received this book at no charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
