Where the Wildflowers Grow

Linden Quinn doesn't have a voice to be heard.

At twenty years old, she communicates in careful sign language, the scratch of pen in her diary, and the rare, hoarse whispers she reserves only for those she trusts. After surviving a life that left her scarred inside and out, she's learned that silence is safer-and the only person who hears her voice is her best friend, Fallon. That is, until Micah Gardner walks into her life with his easy smile and hands that speak as fluently as his lips.

Micah Gardner, Evergreen University's star baseball pitcher with an easy smile and an unexpected fluency in sign language, doesn't just see Linden-he listens to her in ways no one else has. From midnight coffee runs to teaching her to skateboard, he dismantles her walls one quiet moment at a time.

As their friendship deepens into something neither of them expected, Linden must decide if she's ready to trust someone with the words she's kept locked away for years. And Micah must prove that some bonds are stronger than the things left unsaid.

Where the Wildflowers Grow is a story of healing, hope, and the quiet magic of being truly seen.
