But the girls came from different worlds, and their paths diverged when Emma went to an elite college and Sophie worked her way through state school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a decade they've reconnected, both in a time of need. Emma has been struggling with depression since her college years, and she's lost herself under the suffocating influence of her controlling and manipulative mother. Sophie, under pressure to prepare for an upcoming gallery show, whisks the fragile Emma away to a small artists' colony in south Texas. It's a raw and beautiful landscape where wildflowers bloom--and perhaps Emma can bloom there, too. In the company of such nurturing and creative strangers--especially Josh Corlen, the openhearted manager of the commune--Emma allows herself to breathe again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Sophie and Emma, it's the perfect place for reflection and to finally share the secret burdens each has carried.
