Where Lilacs Still Bloom: A Novel

One woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through.Â
Â
German immigrant and farm wife Hulda Klager possesses only an eighth-grade educationâ€”and a burning desire to create something beautiful. What begins as a hobby to create an easy-peeling apple for her pies becomes Huldaâ€™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.Â
Â
Through 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 personâ€™s simple gifts of beauty make a difference?Â
Â
Based 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.
Â
â€œBeauty mattersâ€¦ 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.â€
