An inspirational book that had me unable to stop reading. Really enjoyed how important community and family are in life.

OH. MY. WORD! WHAT. A. BOOK! We are going to need a new rating scale to make a place for this wonderful story! It's in a category that goes above and beyond the 5 stars allowed.

Pepper Basham is one of my favorite authors and this Appalachian series has been fantastic. Hope Like Wildflowers is the icing on the cake and the absolute swoony best of the three!

Kizzie McAdams is a naive mountain girl with idealistic dreams of romance. Reality doesn't quite measure up to her expectations and she finds herself on a quest to discover what it means to be truly loved. I admit I may have felt like swooning at some of the wrong times just as Kizzie did. I also traveled each redemptive step with her on the road to being His Beloved Child. Her happy ever after is beyond her previous expectations when all her dreams come true. Faith, family and love win the day! In Kizzie's own words, "it's all...too wonderful." Another admission, the ending and epilogue made this non-crier cry because the love that goes the distance is on full display.

Hope Like Wildflowers is one of the best books of the year. Pepper Basham has outdone herself and her reputation as a writer of ""kissing books" is solidly intact.
"If God ever brought her a chance to love again, she wanted it to be for all the right reasons...With the kissing parts added in too, if God didn't mind too much."
I appreciate Barbour Publishing making a copy of Hope Like Wildflowers available for review. It was my delight and privilege to read it. All thoughts and opinions are my very own.
