Liz Duckworth Publishing Services Books and talks to help those living through loss "In a world that sometimes seems set adrift with no hope for an anchoring shoreline, Liz Duckworth offers us a high, dry country of wildflowers whose inspiration stays forever in our minds." (Jane Kirkpatrick, clinical social worker and best-selling, award-winning author) A walk through the landscape of hope and healing... Tall, purple firweed. Bright black-eyed Susans. Fragrant wild roses. Somehow, the most graceful wildflowers flourish in barren terrain—dry, exposed landscapes that resemble the scorched and aching souls of women who have experienced loss, grief, and shattered dreams. But Liz Duckworth knows that hope and strength are waiting to blossom again. Having endured her own losses and illnesses, and in gathering stories from many other survivors, she shares powerful lessons of survival by comparing life to wild prairie flowers that thrive in the harshest conditions: metaphors of hope. Recounting stories of loss, survival, and the splendor thriving outside the door, Wildflower Living encourages readers to explore their own firestorms and droughts while taking helpful steps toward blossoming in faith and strength.
