Christian historical romance
Hope Like Wildflowers
In early twentieth-century Appalachia, Kizzie McAdams is a young servant whose unplanned pregnancy leaves her facing rejection from both family and society. The man responsible offers little security, and Kizzie must decide how much of her future she is willing to entrust to someone who has already failed her. Unexpected kindness gives her a glimpse of family, faith, and belonging, but the shame attached to her circumstances follows wherever she goes. This historical romance centers on a vulnerable heroine fighting for dignity and hope in a world quick to define her by her mistakes.
