 HE AUTHOR</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Terah Shelton Harris</strong> is an aut
 hor and former librarian\, who now writes upmarket fiction with bitterswee
 t endings. She is the author of&nbsp\;<em>One Summer in Savannah</em>&nbsp
 \;and&nbsp\;<em>Long After We Are Gone</em>. Her books have been chosen as
  a Target Book Club pick\, LibraryReads pick\, Kobo Best Book\, Together W
 e Read pick\, <em>Publisher&rsquo\;s Marketplace</em> Buzz Book\, and a Go
 odreads Choice Awards nominee for Best Debut. Terah was also named Target&
 rsquo\;s first Author of the Year. Her third book\,&nbsp\;<em>Where the Wi
 ldflowers Grow</em>\,&nbsp\;is a poignant story of survival and redemption
  that questions what it means to stop existing and start living.</p>\n<p><
 strong>ABOUT THE BOOK</strong></p>\n<p>Leigh is the last of the Wildes. Sh
 e knows this because she watched them all die.</p>\n<p>Grief never truly f
 ades and even as the tragedy haunts her\, Leigh carries on\, because survi
 val is in her blood. So\, when the transport bus taking her to prison care
 ens off the road\, killing everyone onboard except her\, she does what's i
 n her nature. She survives.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>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 foun
 d family there who have built something from the wreckage of their own liv
 es. Especially Jackson\, the farm's owner\, who sees through Leigh's defen
 ses\, offers her small moments of tenderness\, encourages her to face her 
 own tragedies. Slowly\, Leigh finds peace with the hard pace and soft natu
 re 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.</p>\n<p>But the past isn't so easily bu
 ried.</p>\n<p>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\, thr
 eatening everything she's come to love\, Leigh will have to truly face wha
 t she can survive.</p>\n<p><img src="https://static.libnet.info/frontend-i
