Hey there, reader! I appreciate your kind and constructive feedback so much. WHEN WE WERE WILDFLOWERS is a lower-YA novel in progress about the power of friendship, especially when your world is turning upside down.
Although this book is set in the present, I wanted to capture the carefree innocence of childhood in the 90s and before, without technology at our fingertips and social media turning us all into deranged dopamine seekers. The embodiment of that nostalgic spirit is wild child Poppy Cooper, a thirteen year old girl without a cell phone who wanders free through the woods and the town content with little to no supervision. This is something you just don't see much of these days, but was the norm in the 90s. When she bumps into the main character Violet Wilson, who is as basic and well-behaved as they come (with a smart phone in her pocket), there is a clash of worlds which transforms them both. Their friendship blossoms like an unruly wildflower seed despite Violet's mother's attempts to squash it.
I hope you enjoy the adventures of these wildflower girls inspired by the Dolly Parton song "Wildflowers"!
