Named a Best Book of 2012 by Kirkus Reviews Set in 1940s
Appalachia, The Secret Sense of Wildflower tells the story of
Louisa May "Wildflower" McAllister whose life has been shaped
around the recent death of her beloved father in a sawmill
accident. While her mother hardens in her grief, Wildflower and her
three sisters must cope with their loss themselves, as well as with
the demands of daily survival. Despite these hardships, Wildflower
has a resilience that is forged with humor, a love of the land, and
an endless supply of questions to God. When Johnny Monroe, the
town's teenage ne'er-do-well, sets his sights on Wildflower, she
must draw on the strength of her relations, both living and dead,
to deal with his threat. With prose as lush and colorful as the
American South, The Secret Sense of Wildflower is powerful and
poignant, brimming with energy and angst, humor and hope. In its
ability to create a truly original Southern voice, The Secret Sense
of Wildflower establishes Gabriel as a thoughtful and powerful
Southern writer. "A quietly powerful story, at times harrowing but
ultimately a joy to read." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The
Secret Sense of Wildflower is eloquent and moving tale chock-filled
with themes of inner strength, family and love that will resonate
with teenagers and adults, alike." - Maya Fleischmann,
