I didn't read the first part of this series, but I don't think that matters much cause the reader gets all the important info about what happened before. Even though, I couldn't really get involved in book, it was all a bit bleak and I really didn't get to care about the characters.

Thank you NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wildflower Hope continues the story of Kara, a young woman who has seen multiple losses in her life, the most recent being the death of her father. Having read the first and third books in the series, I was looking forward to filling in some of the details I had missed in this second book. I was not disappointed. The characters are people you would want to be your friends as they are realistic and relatable. As Kara continues the renovations to a house her father bought, she meets several challenges and it is interesting to see how she works through and overcomes them. Wildflower Hope is a lovely story of healing and growing, of love and forgiveness. I am looking forward to reading more from this talented author. Amanda Dolan does a nice job narrating Kara's story which makes for an enjoyable listening experience. I listened to a complimentary copy of the audiobook and was not required to leave a review.

Thank you to Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for this advanced reader's copy in return for my honest review. I loved this book so much that I went out and bought the first in the series straight after finishing this one. Can't wait to read what happens next in the Wildflower House saga.

Wildflower Hope was an inspirational novel! I enjoyed the way the characters’ emotions were portrayed. Kara has been through a lot. She was in an accident where she lost her husband. Then her father passed away. Now she is renovating his Wildflower House to fulfill what he started before he passed away. She is overwhelmed by her losses at the same time that she is trying to rebuild both the house and her life. She’s also lost her closest friend after she betrayed her. But at the same time that Kara is trying to recover from her losses, she is building new relationships with the people she meets through the renovations of the house.

Great book with very likable characters. Grace Greene certainly makes you feel as if you know them well. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I read this second novel first and was not disappointed.

I have not read the first book in the series but felt that the flashbacks used in this story helped to fill in the gaps as I was reading. However this story fell flat for me. I wasn't able to connect with the characters and felt this story dragged on without any excitement.

I was looking forward to reading this book. This is a new author for me. I had seen her around facebook but had never read any of her books until now. This book was filled with love and family. I know after her struggles you wanted nothing more then for Kara to find her happiness. This book pulls at all your heart strings. It is a up and down emotional ride. You will feel like you are apart of this book with how well it everything is described. There are some great messages in this book that we all can learn and take away from. I really enjoyed this book more then I thought I was. I hope others pick it up. I received this book from Netgalley.

I truly enjoyed this book. The author takes the main character, Kara, through personal tragedies in a loving and compassionate manner. This is the second book in the Wildflower series and we continue seeing the growth and frustrations Kara deals with as she attempts to make her “new normal” in a world that has dealt her several upheavals. I appreciate the time the author takes in developing the peripheral characters to Kara’s journey, as we learn the important ways they help her through her journey. I have to admit there were times that I didn’t like Kara’s attitude very much!!! However, those moments help us to see that Kara’s heart has been broken and she is trying to heal both it and herself. I recommend this book, and the series, to readers who like to take a journey with the characters of a book. Thank you Grace Greene for another heartfelt story. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley, Author and publisher in return for an honest review, which this has been.

Grace Greene’s is able to tell a story that pulls you in and keeps you there. Very relatable and lovable characters.

I’m extremely excited to see what comes next! I also recommend reading the series in order, but read them you must!

I didn't realize when I first received this book that it was the 2nd in a series, however after reading it, I am encouraged! This series is one that deserves to be read more and more.

The novel follows Kara as she navigates life, post traumatic incident. She's decided to renovate a house and open it up to artists. This is a poignantly symbolic, as she herself needs to open her "home" (her heart) and renovate herself after the loss in her life.

Of course it has the seams of a potential romantic connection, but also the questioning of motives among other characters, and whether they will hurt or help her heart and life heal.

I recommend this novel, if you enjoy renovation, growth/healing, and a little romance.

A beautifully written story! Family, love and touching. There is life at the end of the tunnel. The main character pulls herself up by her boot straps as life always goes on.

This is the second book in the "Wildflower Hope" series . I adored the first book and was thrilled to receive this book for review. I do recommend reading the first in series to understand the charcters and the journey of Kara. My review opinion is my own. Reviews posted across platforms.

This is a lovely heartwarming story of Kara's recovery from the loss of her family members. She is deep into grief when she decides to take on the project of fixing the house her Father bought before he died. There are wonderful descriptions of the garden of the house, the renovations and how through the process Kara begins to heal . The supporting charcters all add to the story with depth and meaning. The author has a talent for creating characters that feel like friends and returning to this series is like visiting old friends. I loved it and highly recommend this book for your reading enjoyment.

I 'm eager to see how this series develops. It has given me a sense of well being and hope.

Wildflower Hope is the second book in the Wildflower House Series. You don’t necessarily have to read book one first but it does help when it comes to background and the relationship dynamics in book two.

Grace Greene has created a series that pulls you in and keeps you invested in the characters. The characters are well developed and everyone can identify with their emotions, flaws and triumphs. Beautifully written and captivating this story will capture your heart.

I highly recommend this book and this series. You will find yourself invested in and caring for the characters and will want to continue one with them through each book.

Thank you #netgalley, #gracegreene and #lakeunionpublishing for allowing me to read this wonderful book.

Wildflower Hope by Grace Greene is the story of discovering everything we are capable of if we want it and if we are able to find the confidence, even in the face of adversity.

Kara Hart is a young woman who has suffered the terrible loss of her husband and unborn child in an accident that left her very badly injured. Kara moves to Virginia with her father, Henry Lange, to restore a large Victorian house - a new start for both of them. Within two months of moving into the house, Henry Lange suffers a heart attack that leaves Kara on her own once again.
Kara has a decision to make, will she continue the remodel or sell the property. Kara is determined to remodel but she seems to have trouble starting even though she has support from the realtor who sold them the property. When Kara begins to put her plans to paper, things start to happen.

I highly recommend this book. This story grabbed me from the start for its warm and interesting characters and for its beautiful story that touches ones emotions. It is a story of rebirth, growth, strength, confidence and love. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Thank you to #Netgalley and #LakeUnionPublishing for approving my request for an ARC. The opinions expressed in this review are solely my own.
