Wildflower by Elise R Crawford

Wildflower by Elise R Crawford

For readers of Educated and Wild, comes a stunning new memoir about love, belonging, and family in a life littered with adversity.

Lissie has always believed her life would one day be filled with peace and love. It is a leap of faith for a girl conceived in the broom closet of a mental hospital, forced to endure unfathomable abuse from the adults meant to protect her until she is 'rescued' by the FBI, and tossed into foster care.

But despite it all, nothing can dim the fire of the humorous and ever-determined, Lissie. Not her tangle of poor choices as a runaway teen. Not her unplanned pregnancy or the abusive, shotgun marriage she is forced into. Not the murder of a fianc she so desperately loves.

But one must wonder, does the universe really allow for happily-ever-afters? Will Lissie ever get the chance to become the person she was meant to be?

Far from the 'misery-lit' that has flooded bookshelves in recent years, this creative non-fiction tale is an unforgettable true story about hope, strength, and the courage to know that your past does not define you, from award-winning author, Elise Crawford.

Elise's complete memoir, WILDFLOWER A Survival Story, will be released spring of 2020.
