{"product_id":"where-lilacs-still-bloom-a-novel","title":"Where Lilacs Still Bloom: A Novel","description":"One woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through, inspired by the life of Hulda Klager\n\nGerman immigrant and farm wife Hulda Klager possesses only an eighth-grade education—and a burning desire to create something beautiful. What begins as a hobby to create an easy-peeling apple for her pies becomes Hulda’s driving purpose: a time-consuming interest in plant hybridization that puts her at odds with family and community, as she challenges the early twentieth-century expectations for a simple housewife.\n\nThrough the years, seasonal floods continually threaten to erase her Woodland, Washington garden and a series of family tragedies cause even Hulda to question her focus. In a time of practicality, can one person’s simple gifts of beauty make a difference?\n\nBased on the life of Hulda Klager, Where Lilacs Still Bloom is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart.\n\n“Beauty matters… it does. God gave us flowers for a reason. Flowers remind us to put away fear, to stop our rushing and running and worrying about this and that, and for a moment, have a piece of paradise right here on earth.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1400074304\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1400074304.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kirkpatrick, Jane\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
