SPANNING THREE GENERATIONS AND HALF THE WORLD, WILDFLOWER HILL IS A SWEEPING, ROMANTIC, AND COMPELLING STORY OF TWO WOMEN WHO SHARE A LEGACY OF SECRETS, HEARTBREAK, COURAGE, AND LOVE. Emma, a prima ballerina in London, is at a crossroads after an injured knee ruins her career. Forced to rest and take stock of her life, she finds that she’s mistaken fame and achievement for love and fulfillment. Returning home to Australia, she learns of her grandmother Beattie’s death and a strange inheritance: a sheep station in isolated rural Australia. Certain she has been saddled with an irritating burden, Emma prepares to leave for Wildflower Hill to sell the estate. Beattie also found herself at a crossroads as a young woman, but she was pregnant and unwed. She eventually found success—but only after following an unconventional path that was often dangerous and heartbreaking. Beattie knew the lessons she learned in life would be important to Emma one day, and she wanted to make sure Emma’s heart remained open to love, no matter what life brought. She knew the magic of the Australian wilderness would show Emma the way. Wildflower Hill is a compelling, atmospheric, and romantic novel about taking risks, starting again, and believing in yourself. It’s about finding out what you really want and discovering that the answer might be not at all what you’d expect.

Favorite of 2012!!!This book reminded me of the saga "The Thorn Birds" with a little something for everyone, a bit of romance, history, drama and mystery. I think it would make a great edition to a book club read as there are so many issues that could be explored. The way the author seamlessly inc...

Nothing like a little junk food for the brain. This was a quick, sappy read that helped fill the time on a plane ride with crappy movies and a long lay-over in an airport waiting to get home. I love a good strong heroine and Beattie filled the bill quite well. Emma, not so much, she was a bit pre...

Emma is a successful ballerina in London, whose career ends after an unfortunate i...
