The Reviews Are In!

I got a really sweet email from my publishing team recently containing a compilation of some tear-jerking words about my new book.

These endorsements were written by wonderful authors I deeply respect, making the kind words even more meaningful. Can I share some of them with you?

Advanced Praise for Where Wilted Flowers Bloom:

“Honest, unapologetic, and tender, Where Wilted Flowers Bloom doesn’t shy away from the hard edges of grief. The unlikely friendship at its center beautifully illuminates gentle pathways toward healing. Be sure to keep a box of tissues handy: The soul-cleansing tears this story stirred caught me by surprise.”

—Amanda Cox, Christy-Award Winning Author of The Bitter End Birding Society

“Where Wilted Flowers Bloom is a poignant exploration of grief, friendship, and healing when it seems impossible. Johanna Rojas Vann’s skill as a storyteller invites readers into the lives of her well-crafted characters with such authenticity, you feel every raw emotion, smell every fragrant flower, and find yourself examining your own journey through the painful life events we all face at some point. This book has the potential to help us see others who are going through difficult circumstances with new eyes.”

—Michelle Shocklee, Christy Award–Winning author of All We Thought We Knew and The Women of Oak Ridge

“Johanna Rojas Vann has written a story that perfectly threads the needle between heartbreaking and heartwarming. When you turn the final page, the deeply drawn characters will stay with you, making you wish you could visit them just one more time. This story is a must-read for anyone who enjoys themes of found family, unexpected friendship, and hard-won restoration.”
