In the heart of ancient Ur, where the gods cast shadows and tradition weaves the fabric of life,
Secrets of the Wildflowers unfolds the captivating tale of Miu, a spirited young woman
determined to bloom amid the constraints of her culture, family, and the ancient deities that hold
sway.
When tragedy strikes, and her beloved brother becomes a sacrifice to the gods, Miu embarks on a
courageous journey to break free from the shackles of societal expectations and unearth her true
purpose. Inspired by the resilient wildflowers that thrive against all odds, Miu is driven to forge
her own path and create a name for herself.
As Miu navigates running her own tavern, friendship with an unlikely courier, and supporting an
abandoned child, she finds herself crossing paths with Abram, a figure of significance from the
Bible. In their encounters, Abram imparts profound wisdom, revealing that, like the wildflowers,
Miu is created to be unique. Yet, he guides her to embrace the very boundaries that enable her to
flourish.
Book Excerpt
She pictured the well-adorned priestesses strumming on their lyres to the gods
and goddesses while children frolicked through the streets. To Miu, the festivals were
more than a celebration. They brought order to her unpredictable world. They marked
the constant of seasons, the movement of time, and the planting and harvesting of
crops over her sixteen years. She embraced everything the festivals offered, except the
worship of the gods.
Today her mind was distracted by thinking of the excitement outside her father’s
workshop, and she hadn’t focused on the numbers. Her wandering mind cost her free
time. She took a deep breath, willing her eyes to focus on the tablets arrayed on the
table before her. Flinging her unruly hair in a knot on top of her head, the way her
mother despised, she set to work.
While most of her girlfriends learned to weave and make pottery, Miu spent those
years with a clay tablet and stylus rubbing calluses on her own fingers. As she grew, her
father took advantage of her other abilities, a mind to understand numbers.
