<p><b>One woman an impossible dream and the faith it took to see it through inspired by the life of Hulda Klager</b></p><p>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.</p><p>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?</p><p>Based on the life of Hulda Klager <i>Where Lilacs Still Bloom</i> is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart.</p><p><i>'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.'</i></p>
