But as the adult Ellie discovers secrets from her mother’s own wild past after her death, and as love grows between Ellie and a man who cherishes her wild nature, Ellie reclaims the spirit of a “wildflower”. the main character Ellie is dealing with her mother’s death and recalls her childhood nickname “wildflower,” The FREE Wildflower Wishes app lets users send virtual flowers with custom messages to their friends.
