“This gripping story of the 1800’s, has us traveling along with an unforgettable cast of characters, heading west on a wagon train. Author, Catherine Greenfeder’s lively and adventuress heroine, Johanna Wade, travels with her aunt from Boston to join her father’s mission in Oregon. In this realistic tale, we experience the daily grind and painful misfortunes Johanna confronts and conquers along the trail. The caravan’s intrepid and handsome guide, Ryan Majors, is the one person who can protect and keep the group together, and the one man who loves Johanna like no other ever has. The author does such a wonderful job bringing her travelers to life by their dialogue, and by their reactions to each other, that I hated to leave them when I finished the book. This memorable, historic romance novel is so well written that even the myriads of Wildflowers embedded throughout the plot take on a meaning of their own. I highly recommend this novel, a poignant love story that takes you on a journey you won’t forget.”  Sarajane Giere, author of My Pilot

 

“Greenfeder’s western romance is filled with the trials of settlers going west. The author pulls no punches, and the dangers are graphic to say the least, but very realistic for that era. The villain is a nasty piece of work; the heroine strong-willed; and the hero brash but lovable and a bit clueless when it comes to matters of the heart.”
Faith V. Smith, Romantic Times

“Ms. Greenfeder has written a wonderful, dynamic story, filled with rich, vibrant characters that keep me glued to the pages. The descriptive setting and true-to-life dialogue put me right there on the wagon trail with Johanna and Ryan. This is a book I’m sure to read again and again. I look forward to reading more from this talented storyteller.”

“Wildflowers is a magnificent tale that captures the whole essence of the American West. From hardships to Indians, to horse-covered wagons, this is a poignant tale that is full of spirit, dangers and life. From one man’s vengeance, to a woman’s love for a man, as she overcomes fate to tell her father whom she wishes to spend her time with, this story captivates. I applauded Ryan as he sought peace for his brother’s family. I commended Johanna’s resolve to stand on her own two feet and be the woman she feels she should be. Catherine Greenfeder crafts believable characters with unique characteristics that make the story feel genuine. The secondary characters spin a great part to the story, some with their own romances and events that make the story more in-depth. This is one incredible read that shouldn’t be missed. I admired the strength and determination of all the characters and the great love that was shown throughout the bitter times.”
