Canadian Wild Flowers by Louise Phillips
Canadian Wild Flowers is based on a true story of one woman’s courage and hope in meeting the challenges of poverty and loneliness. It is 1865 in Upper Canada, and newly widowed Agnes Fitzgibbon must find a way to support her six children. A talented amateur painter, she sets out to create the very first book of Canadian wild flowers. Without a single colour press in the colony to print her illustrations, Agnes fears her dream will wither on the vine. A Victorian woman in a man’s world, she faces her publisher’s reluctance, her mother’s disapproval and her own self-doubt. Enlisting the aid of her three young daughters to hand paint each drawing, Agnes discovers the importance of family and of belief in her dream…and forever changes Canadian book publishing.
