Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman intricately weaves together the stories of two women, separated by generations, who live vastly different lives. The narrative follows Beattie, who transforms her struggles in 1920s Scotland into a bold new start in Australia, and her granddaughter Emma, a contemporary ballet dancer who is forced to confront her family's past. As Emma uncovers hidden secrets at the ancestral Wildflower Hill farm, themes of sacrifice, love, and resilience unfold, connecting the past and present.

From the class divisions of depression-era Glasgow, to the rolling pastures of a rural Tasmanian sheep farm. An unforgettable story of passion, love, secrets and loss.

Beattie: Glasgow, 1929. Beattie Blaxland had dreams. Big dreams. She dreamed of a life of fashion and fabrics. One thing she never dreamed was that she would find herself pregnant to her married lover, just before her nineteenth birthday.

Emma: London, 2009. Emma Blaxland-Hunter was living her dream. A prima ballerina with the London Ballet, she had everything ...until the moment she lost it all. Separated by decades, both women must find the strength to rebuild their lives.

A legacy from one to the other will lead to Wildflower Hill, a place where a woman can learn to stand alone long enough to realise what she really wants.
