Pick The Wildflowers

How Far Can Love Endure? Struggling with old age, ninety-four-year-old Toby Mitchell gives a moving account of his life. Taken back to 1935 and against the backdrop of a small country town. Toby shares the bond he has with his older brother Bill. When the tide of rejection sweeps across the tiny town because of their mother's illness, they gather the strength to push through those prejudice moments. Their brotherhood is soon tested when they both fall in love with the same girl, Hildy, a socialite from a wealthy, prominent family. Even though she is from a different world, Hildy accepts the boys and is swept up into their simple way of life. That is until one life-altering day changes everything. Devastating circumstances tear them apart. Over the years, Toby's love for Hildy refuses to fade. The events of that awful day still haunt him. In desperation, he flees the only home he has ever known. Amid the darkness, Toby finds in his new world, he comes to realise the emotional journey was all worth it. A beautiful coming-of-age love story, where Thompson reminds us that life is fragile and every moment counts. What Readers Are Saying: "This book is a must-read.
