Where lilacs still bloom : a novel / Jane Kirkpatrick. by Kirkpatrick, Jane, 1946- Center Point Large Print, c2012. Call #: LP FICTION KIR Subjects Klager, Hulda, 1863-1960 -- Fiction.   Housewives -- Fiction.   Immigrant families -- Fiction.   Plant hybridization -- Fiction.   Lilacs -- Fiction.   Washington (State) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781611733778 Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  383 p. (large print) : ill., map ; 23 cm. Summary:  "One woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through. 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. 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? Based on the life of Hulda Klager, Where Lilacs Still Bloom is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart. '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.'"--Publisher.
