Tall, purple firweed. Bright black-eyed Susans. Fragrant
wild roses. Somehow, the most graceful wildflowers flourish in barren terrain—dry, exposed landscapes that resemble the scorched
and aching souls of women who have experienced loss, grief, and shattered dreams. But Liz Duckworth knows that hope
and strength are waiting to blossom again. Having endured her own losses and illnesses, and in gathering stories from many
other survivors, she shares powerful lessons of survival by comparing life to wild prairie flowers that thrive in the harshest
conditions: metaphors of hope. Recounting stories of loss, survival, and the splendor thriving outside the door, Wildflower
Living encourages readers to explore their own firestorms and droughts while taking helpful steps toward blossoming in faith
and strength. Published by WaterBrook Press, February 2005.
