We assume that our closest friends will be around forever. Sometimes we let years pass without checking in, confident that our paths will cross eventually and that the connection we once had will still be there. However, life doesn’t always work like that.When Camille Warren finds out that her old friend Jewel has died, she can’t help but relive the past. Camille, Jewel, and Saundra were once very close—from childhood all the way through college in New York City—but then they drifted apart, and now Camille can’t remember exactly why. Wildflowers is the story of a dynamic friendship that spans more than four decades. It explores both the tenderness and anger in the relationship that connects Camille, Jewel, and Saundra. As Camille remembers a fateful brunch from twenty years earlier, she confronts old jealousies, prejudices, and betrayals, and she finally comes to understand the strength of friendship—and its fragility.
