Three families, each with a story of love, hardship, loyalty and strength, find themselves on a path born of necessity.The Sunflower Widows is a "beautiful, emotionally intelligent novel" that explores the silent suffering of women whose lives are forever changed, not on the battlefield, but in kitchens, nurseries, and empty spaces they once shared. Kathryna never knew her father. He died a hero in World War II before she took her first breath. Now, as war returns, Kathryna faces a new generation of grief and discovers a quiet calling.They lost the men they loved, but not the strength to carry on...Determined not to let others suffer in silence, she begins with a simple gesture: a cup of tea, a quiet conversation, and an open door. Her home becomes a quiet refuge for Yulia, a young nurse and newlywed whose world collapsed in a heartbeat. For Ana, the resilient wife who loved through war. And for Natalia, a mother and partner who returned from Berlin to contribute, only to face destruction.Within Kathryna's modest home, sorrow finds a voice, strength is shared in silence, and healing begins. As word spreads, her home becomes a haven for the broken-hearted. Together, they carry invisible wounds and begin to plant hope in barren soil. In a land torn by war, it's in the quiet moments and shared stories that the deepest healing takes root.Written by critically-acclaimed author Matthew Fults, The Sunflower Widows is a soul-stirring tribute to love, strength, and the unbreakable bonds between women. Inspired by true events, it stands as a powerful testament to love that endures, grief that unites, and the strength that rises when everything else falls away. Perfect for fans of The Kite Runner and All the Light I Cannot See.
