The Featured Novel
Where the Wildflowers Wait
Every season she thought she’d lost is still blooming somewhere.
The summer her mother stops answering the phone, Naomi Vance drives back to the farmhouse at the edge of Bellhaven and finds the meadow her family once tended gone wild — overgrown, stubborn, and somehow still in bloom.
Clearing it means clearing everything else: a sister who never left, a daughter who stopped calling, and the letters Naomi’s grandmother wrote to a woman none of them were told about. Season by season, the field gives back what the family buried in it.
Warm and quietly fearless, this is a novel about the women who keep growing in ground no one thought to water — and about coming back in time to see them bloom.

About the Author
Danielle Monroe
Danielle Monroe writes contemporary women’s inspirational fiction for readers who have lived a little — stories about family, faith, memory, and the quiet turning points that change everything without announcing themselves.
Her novels return again and again to the same tender territory: mothers and daughters, sisters who love each other imperfectly, houses that keep secrets, and women who discover that going back is sometimes the only way forward. She is drawn to the hours after the crisis, when the noise has settled and a person has to decide who she is going to be now.
She writes with warmth rather than judgment, and with the belief that healing is rarely tidy but almost always possible.
“I write about the moments when a life can no longer stay the way it was.”
