Description
From acclaimed author Terah Shelton Harris comes a poignant story of survival and redemption that questions what it means to stop existing and start living.
Leigh is the last of the Wildes. She knows this because she watched them all die.
Grief never truly fades and even as the tragedy haunts her, Leigh carries on, because survival is in her blood. So, when the transport bus taking her to prison careens off the road, killing everyone onboard except her, she does what's in her nature. She survives.
While searching for a place to hide, Leigh stumbles upon an unexpected sanctuary: a flower farm in rural Alabama tucked away from the world. What Leigh doesn't expect is the found family there who have built something from the wreckage of their own lives. Especially Jackson, the farm's owner, who sees through Leigh's defenses, offers her small moments of tenderness, encourages her to face her own tragedies. Slowly, Leigh finds peace with the hard pace and soft nature of the farm, taking comfort in the life blooming around her. Maybe she's not beyond redemption, not too broken for something good. And maybe, just maybe, Leigh starts to heal.
But the past isn't so easily buried.
No matter how far she runs, the truth of who she is and the ghosts of the Wildes follow. And when those secrets catch up to her, threatening everything she's come to love, Leigh will have to truly face what she can survive.

I enjoyed reading this novel. The characters were well developed and interesting. I look forward to reading more by this author.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review this novel.

This may be one of my favourite books of all time. The writing was unlike anything I have read before - Terah’s words are powerful and wise. She somehow managed to weave a complex story of overcoming trauma with a beautiful love story. A overarching theme of facing our own trauma in order to be able to finally accept love. I thought this book was perfect, thank you for the ARC Sourcebook Landmark & NetGalley!

There is no better feeling than finding a writer with the skill and imagination to keep crafting poignant stories, and Terah Shelton Harris does just that. Her latest work is full of feeling and wonder, with a tight storyline and characters full of the range of emotion and weariness. I will already be discussing this for my bookclub in the coming months.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5 (a couple brief open-door scenes)
What a gorgeous, devastating, raw, powerful, and romantic book. I don’t have the words to capture it. It’s sort of a mix between contemporary/literary fiction and romance. The beautiful writing hooked me from the start, and I couldn’t put it down even though it was so painful I wanted to look away at times. This is one of those rare books that’s filled with grief and sorrow, yet enough joy and hope and goodness seep through the cracks that it feels like a miracle. The characters, the themes, the plot, the writing, and the pacing were all masterfully done. This story is going to stick with me for a long time.
Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for the arc!
