A Number One Bestseller in Magical Realism!

Sometimes you need to embrace your shadow before you find your light.

When Elizabeth Whit inherits a tiny bed and breakfast in the New England forest, she dreams of building a simpler life for her kids. Instead, she arrives to find a dilapidated property, with irate neighbors and a suspicious community. Handsome handyman Joe keeps sending her mixed signals, and her son seems hellbent on bringing old problems into new places. Elizabeth is about to admit defeat when she discovers something magical on her land ... something that calls her into the woods at night, begging her to surrender ...

Torn between the life that was taken from her and the home she can't give up on, she faces the illumination of cold truth. Does she have what it takes to start over? Her only path leads to the oak grove. Elizabeth will have to descend to its depths to find the light she is looking for in Solace Spring.

The magic is in the darkness.

A story of finding yourself in the seasons of the earth, Sanctuary offers true seekers a chance to come home to love.
