When a random encounter with the new town pastor leaves Journiva questioning her self-worth, she decides to redeem herself through Stella, a young girl formerly in the care of her deceased mother. But three years have passed, and Stella is no longer the child that she left behind. Having survived abandonment and exploitation living on the fringes of the small town of Croix, Stella decides to take control of her own future and pull herself up the only way she knows how, by selling the world's oldest commodity. Channeling the spirit of her temporary home, Stella and her equally desperate compatriots devise a plan to flee small town subjugation, all while blurring the lines of morality. Gaining allies and thwarting enemies, Stella attempts to thrive below the radar of the law, all while the mistakes of the past dangle Journiva on the precipice of loyalty and betrayal.

Owens, Sidra: -

Sidra Owens was a writer, to greater and lesser degrees, for most of her pre-college education. Displaying all the stubborn presumptions that accompanies young adulthood, she ran from her natural calling, leaping head long into the analytics of the biological and chemical sciences, and falling squarely on her face with a resounding thud. Setting aside secondary education, she expanded her artistic horizons and her storytelling expertise through experimentation with tabletop and verbal role play, allowing her to master the ability to develop characters, their motives and the worlds where they dwell. With Wildflowers being her second published work, she demonstrates the abilities she has honed since leaving college. Having returned to secondary education and obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Behavioral and Social Science, she will be able to add greater historical and sociological depths to the characters that are clamoring for their stories to be told.
