 This is the final book in the Wildflowers Series. Now that their group sessions with Dr. Marlowe have ended, the thought of hearing from each other again was unreal until Jade, who is now the official president of the OWPs (Orphans with Parents), calls Misty, Star, and Cathy to invite them to the first meeting of the club at her massive Beverly Hills Mansion. In the attic of Jade's massive home, away from the parents that have caused so much pain and suffering in their lives and from Dr. Marlowe's watchfulness, the girls join together and promise to share things that they couldn't share before. Cat is the first to share a dark secret that she didn't even know when she was going to the group sessions. The girls are shocked and angry at her mom for keeping this kind of secret from her and not then even telling the whole story.  Jade, Misty, and Star vow to help their friend Cat find out the truth about her family and the dark secret that Cathy's mom doesn't want her to know. With the OWPs becoming an official club, their bonds of friendship growing with every minute, the girls show their parents and everyone else that they can and have triumphed over the feelings and fears that almost destroyed them. 

 I have to say that this book was definitely an exciting addition to the stories of the girls. The writer took the story of timid, scared Cat and showed that anyone can triumph over their fears and pains with the help and support of the people who love them. I think this was an awesome book. It was as good as Cat.
