The Secret Sense of Wildflower

Named a Best Book of 2012 by Kirkus Reviews. Over 250 reviews!

Small southern towns have few secrets. But when a grieving daughter confronts the local bad boy, she exposes a dark history.

Appalachia, 1941. Thirteen-year-old Louisa May "Wildflower" McAllister's heart still aches for her father. A year after her dad's tragic sawmill accident, she relies on her strength of spirit and her heightened intuition to deal with a critical mother and cope with the aftermath.

But when she's targeted by the town's teenage bully, she may need more than her "secret sense" to survive. 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.

Lily’s Song

A mother’s secrets, a daughter’s dream, and a family’s loyalty are masterfully interwoven in this much-anticipated sequel. With her signature metaphors, Gabriel weaves a compelling tale that captures the resilience and strength of both mother and daughter, as secrets revealed test their strong bond and ultimately change their lives forever.

Daisy’s Fortune

She must return to the place that twice brought her shame. She’ll have one final chance to save someone else.

Tennessee, 1982. Wildflower McAllister thought she’d put the past behind her. But when she learns her mother is dying, she digs deep and returns to the small mountain town that stole her innocence and cast her out. And she has no choice but to pull her 13-year-old granddaughter Daisy right back into the ghosts of her painful history.

Daisy’s Fortune is the emotional conclusion to the Wildflower Trilogy. If you like strong women, generational tales, and the power of family and the land to heal, then you’ll adore Susan Gabriel’s compelling finale.

EXCELLENTLY NARRATED! Holly Adams

I am only part way through the first book and had to write a review! This book is so well narrated, I feel like Wildflower is accompanying me on my commute daily and is telling me the story of her life! I am so excited to get into my car each day for my drive because I get to commune with Wildflower! This narrator, Holly Adams, should receive an award for her performance!

CAPTIVATING!!

I was captivated from the opening of book 1 to the final words in book 3. Susan Gabriel’s ability to walk the reader right into the story was amazing. I could smell the honey suckle, hear the floor creak in the old house, and every character was as familiar as if I grew up on the ridge.
Thank you for a wonderful escape!! I was CAPTIVATED!!

Loved this series!

A series of love, family and what it means to be a family. And the way time heals!

Excellent narrator!

Wonderful story. A few times I became somewhat annoyed with amount of "fillers" used describing parts of story. But when finished I was very satisfied and happy with the entire trilogy!

Totally loved these books!

This trilogy evoked every emotion and feeling. She made me laugh, made me angry, and made me cry. The narration was perfect. Rarely in an audiobook are the voices of the different characters so realistic and different from each other, whether a young girl, an old woman, or man's voice. Yet this one was. The narrator is wonderful. The story is beautiful. The writing was so creative and different making all the characters and the scenes come to life. As I listened, I could clearly see and feel as if I were there.
