HTML:<b>One woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through, inspired by the life of Hulda Klager</b><br /> &#160;<br /> German 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.&#160;<br /> &#160;<br /> 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 person’s simple gifts of beauty make a difference?&#160;<br /> &#160;<br /> Based on the life of Hulda Klager, <i>Where Lilacs Still Bloom</i> is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart.<br /> &#160;<br /> <i>“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.”</i>. Media Type: eBook.
