The Secret Life Of Sunflowers: A gripping, inspiring novel based on the true story of Johanna Bonger, Vincent van Gogh's sister-in-law (Light & Life Series Book 1)
📚 Why We Recommend ItBeneath the golden glow of sunflowers lies a story history almost forgot—and this book digs it up, vibrant and vital. The Secret Life of Sunflowers isn’t just about Vincent van Gogh’s art—it’s about the woman who made sure the world ever saw it: Johanna Bonger, his unsung sister-in-law.
This isn’t your typical historical novel. It’s a conversation across time, split between two women a century apart. In 1800s Paris, Johanna—a 28-year-old widow with a baby, barely speaking the language—clings to a stack of paintings the world dismisses as worthless. Her quiet, relentless fight to honor her brother-in-law’s genius becomes a lifeline. In modern New York, auctioneer Emsley stumbles on Johanna’s diary while unraveling her own family’s secrets, and finds her own crumbling life suddenly mirrored in a stranger’s courage.
