Wildflower

by Alexandra Forry 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

BLURB:

In this beautiful and moving story of love, growth, and redemption among the stunning red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, Sydney—a teenaged Army orphan—discovers that love knows no bounds and life has many twists and turns of fate. After she is forced to move in with her late mother’s sister Blanche and Blanche’s abusive alcoholic husband Dean, Sidney finds purpose and friendship in Lexy, the daughter of Max Heller the City’s most prominent widower and business magnate. Unknowingly, the girls’ antics awaken Blanche’s lost and suppressed passions and stirs Max’s long-thwarted drive to build a loving and complete family. What emerges is the wonderfully successful Epicurian Café, the brainchild of Blanche and Sydney actively encouraged by Max and Lexy. The Café quickly becomes a center of the community, the start of a new life for Blanche and Sydney, and a chance for Max and Lexy to discover true love and the meaning of commitment. An emotional roller-coaster with its exciting twists and turns, Wildflower is an exhilarating and satisfying read

EXCERPT:
“I must tell you something. I usually don’t do this.”         
Do what, Blanche?”         
“Drink wine under the stars by a creek with a man who I have just met.”        
“But that’s part of what makes life worth living.”   
Before Blanche could reply, Annette rounded the corner and joined them. 
“There you are; I’ve been looking for the two of you everywhere.” Annette stopped to catch her breath.  “What is it?” Blanche asked. 
“Blanche, I hate to do this to you, but I need to go home now. Jordan called to say his school project requires him to light a fire, and I don’t want him playing with a flame when I’m not home.” 
“I can certainly understand that.” Blanche looked at her friend and back to Max, then she stood up. Max didn’t want Blanche to go, but realized they had to leave.” 
“Well, it was nice to meet you, Max. Goodbye,” she said. 
“Good night,” Annette told Max. 
For the first time in his life he was not sure what to say. Blanche and Annette started to walk away.  Annette went on about her son. 
“Blanche, wait! If you want to stay longer I can drive you home, if you’d like,” Max said standing up from the table and walking over to them. 
Blanche stopped walking and turned around to face Max. He could tell she was thinking about it. 
“I would like that. Annette, do you mind?” Blanche asked her.

Let's Learn a Little about Alexandra Forry:


What is your writing environment? At my home office. My desk is facing out a window as I write and listen to the birds. I’m truly lucky to say that I have a great writing environment.


Who is your perfect hero and why? Let me think… my kind of hero is someone whom can love me for who I am. I don’t believe in a hero or a perfect man. I like to think that every man is a knight of shining armor to some woman.
 

What authors have caught your interest lately and why? I truly can’t answer this question 100%. I am on Facebook a lot and some self-publish authors had caught my eye.
 

What type of book have you always wanted to write? Murder Mystery, and My own memoir about my life with Cerebral Palsy. I have quite a story to tell. 

Top 3 things on your bucket list? Humm let’s see… Go to Hawaii, Have a grand romance, and Go to Chip and Dales.

How did you get the idea for this particular novel? From stories of my grandmother’s sandwich shop and mix of my own ideas.

What is your favorite scene in your new release? I have to say the end of Wildflower when everyone finds out what they want and is happy with their choices, until the second book comes out!

What are you working on now and when can we expect it to be available? A great author never tells what she’s working on, LOL!

What do you like to do when you are not writing? Promoting my book on the internet, hang with friends on Facebook and spending time with family.

What would you consider a perfect date? Candle light dinner at some romantic restaurant, after dinner we walked in the restaurant’s garden’s talking about sweet nothings and then we kiss…

What is one interesting fact about you that readers don’t know? I love older men, don’t know why but I always did. Older man are more mature then men my own age.
