Four teenage girls with nothing in common but their miserable
childhoods--but their secret pasts have bound them together forever...
Misty, Star, Jade, and Cat first came together in Dr. Marlowe's group
therapy sessions. They trusted no one but each other--and even that bond
was fragile at best. One by one, each of the Wildflowers told her own
story and bravely unveiled the inner wounds inflicted by years of lies,
deceit, and untold family secrets; each revealed the shocking tales of
how their parents hurt them, used them, or simply abandoned them. And as
they shared their darkest feelings, they no longer felt like lost souls
with nowhere to turn. Finally, years of loneliness and pain gave way to
the realization that someone else in this world understood them. But
then the sessions ended, and the girls didn't know if they would ever
see each other again.
Now they are coming together one more time. Jade has sent out
invitations to her parents' mansion--the sprawling, opulent home that
served as a battleground for much of her young life. There, the four
will rekindle their bonds of friendship and trust. But this time, away
from Dr. Marlowe's watchful eye, it will be different. Today, in the
mansion's attic, Star, Jade, Cat, and Misty will take each other's hands
and swear to tell the real truth--the shattering secrets that lie deep
within them like smoldering coals. And once the darkest secret of all is
spoken aloud, there will be no turning back. For there may be some
things the Wildflowers should leave buried forever...
