Wildflowers and Weeds - Paperback

by Janie Savage (Author)

We are all connected. Like all growing things, we want to be seen, to be recognized. Not because we are special but because we are ordinary, even common. Wildflowers and Weeds is a collection of real stories with real people. Through real life and authentic experiences, unapologetic life lessons are revealed. In this time of instant gratification, there is a deep soul yearning for something that seems to be slipping away. Wildflowers and Weeds invites us to remember where we came from and the real truth of what we bring with us.

This collection of stories and drawings, like the wildflowers and weeds growing, most times unnoticed, can catch you off guard. In the stories, you might see something you already know, whether from living it or by simply being human.

The wildflowers and weeds are inspired by the author's home nestled in the forested mountains of western North Carolina. These stories are cut from a lifetime of experiences. They offer glimpses of absurd, wide-eyed stupidity laced with a splinter of wisdom. Wildflowers, weeds, and words bear witness to the tenacity of creation that runs through us all.
