The Light of Hidden Flowers

Quotes

“Handford’s third novel (after Acts of Contrition and Daughters for a Time) centers on identity and how the people in our lives shape our choices…Fans of Carrie Brown and Helen Simonson will enjoy this quietly moving tale.” —Library Journal“Inspiring readers with a feel similar to Eat, Pray, Love, the story weaves a journey of self-growth with a meaningful reminder that the heart always knows which path is right.” —RT Book Reviews “The Light of Hidden Flowers is a special book in the realm of self-discovery fiction. Handford has a wonderful set of skills put to use in the novel form, from smart pacing to a delightful knack for metaphors and a great capacity for warmth. None of her characters feel contrived, most especially—and importantly—our protagonist. Missy is a relatable and deeply genuine character, flawed and humble and human in a particularly endearing way. In a culture that praises its extroverts and admonishes its introverts to “put themselves out there more,” Missy is a reminder of the admirable bravery it takes to be quiet in a loud world, to be openly scared and vulnerable and to still persevere.” —Literary Inklings“A deftly crafted and deeply engaging story from beginning to end, The Light of Hidden Flowers is another superbly written novel by Jennifer Handford and very highly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review“An epic journey through love, war, family, and fate. An enjoyable, interesting read with deftly drawn characters that leap to life. This book will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.” —Adele Levine, bestselling author of Run, Don't Walk: The Curious and Courageous Life Inside Walter Reed Army Medical Center
