“Omg I didn't expect this!... heartbreaking, raw, powerful and tense. I was invested in the characters right away and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. When you finally reach the action-packed end it will leave you asking yourself just how far you would go for you and your family to survive.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable and heartbreaking story about one woman’s determination to keep her family together when the world falls apart. “Mom, why are you so mad at Dad?” “I’m not,” I say, which isn’t exactly true. Putting on a brave face for my two young daughters—pretending everything is fine in my marriage—has been hard. That, and losing the house after Daniel lied to me. I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents’ isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It’s twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody’s lived here for a decade. Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn’t a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family. Later, I’ll hold on to these memories—ghostly shreds of another life. Because just eight hours after I tucked my daughters into bed, feeling so hopeful, the world as I knew it—as anyone knew it—was gone for good. What do you do when the worst thing in the world happens to your family? A gripping, beautiful story that will break your heart from a million-copy bestselling author.

England, 1939: When Alice marries twinkly-eyed, kind-hearted vicar David, it means leaving everything from her old life behind and moving into the draughty vicarage in the beautiful but remote village of Goswell, Cumbria. Though homesick, she's determined to make a new life there for herself and her husband. But soon tragedy strikes, and Alice is devastated when war breaks out and David chooses to sign up to fight. But everything changes when she's asked to take in a child evacuee, and she makes a promise to protect this girl, no matter what it costs her… England, Present Day: When Jane and her family move to the small coastal village of Goswell where her husband grew up, she’s afraid she might have made a huge mistake. Their new home—in what had once been the vicarage—feels a million miles from their previous fast-paced life in New York City, and Jane struggles with her empty days that seem lonely and purposeless. But then she finds a small note, forgotten behind a shelf in the pantry, a note written during the Second World War by a woman named Alice, whose incredible story has the power to change everything… The first book in the Goswell Quartet, this novel combines two wives’ stories—seventy years apart—that both focus on courage, finding a home, and how the unexpected arrival of someone else’s story in your life can change your own. Perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Lucinda Riley, and Barbara O’Neal, it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.

The Wife's Promise

England, 1918. As war ends, across the world people are trying to heal and recover. But Eleanor still feels broken. The loss of her beloved brother, killed just days before the Armistice was signed, feels impossibly unjust. Spending her time in the neglected garden behind their house, she fears her heart will never recover. Then her father hires a man to help restore the garden to its former glory. Gruff, handsome Yorkshireman Jack comes from a totally different world to Eleanor, but he understands the nature of her grief more than anyone else seems to. And as they spend time together, she starts to wonder if there's any way for her to learn to soar again... Now. Nearly one hundred years later, Marin is not prepared to find herself the guardian of her fifteen-year-old half-sister Rebecca after her father and his second wife are killed in a tragic accident. The sisters are practically strangers, and Rebecca’s grief makes her seem even more distant. Marin, too, is in need of a fresh start, so when Rebecca begs her to let them move to the picturesque village of Goswell on the Cumbrian coast, Marin impulsively agrees. But it is only when they find a locked door to a secret garden and a photograph of a girl with a butterfly landing on her hand that the sisters start to realize they have a mystery to solve—one about war, about secrets, and about a love that could never be—a mystery that might just bring them together…

This helpless child forces Abigail to reconsider everything she thought she knew—and will change her life forever… Now: When a shipwreck is discovered off the coast of Cumbria, local expert Rachel is brought in to investigate. Her first thought is that this will be a perfect distraction from her troubled marriage and the memories of her past that she is desperate not to think about. But then it becomes clear the wreck is a slaving ship from the 1700s—one that was recorded as sinking in the Caribbean—and Rachel begins to wonder if there’s more to this terrible mystery than meets the eye.

But nothing prepares her for the darkness of her marriage, the shocking secrets of her new family, and the lengths she will have to go to keep her sister safe… Now: Living in the beautiful village of Goswell, Ellen believes her family life to be idyllic…until her estranged seventeen-year-old stepdaughter Annabelle moves in and shatters the peace. Ellen fears they will never bond—until she finds a death certificate for a woman named Sarah, from over a century earlier, hidden under the floorboards of their house and Annabelle starts to help her unravel the mystery.

Playing for Keeps in Starr's Fall - Starr's Fall, Book 2 (Unabridged)

In this unputdownable sequel to the heartbreaking bestseller The Last Stars in the Sky, one family's fight for survival continues as they navigate a world forever changed. Seven months ago, our family left suburban Connecticut for my parents’ isolated lake house in a naïve attempt to reconnect. Life had imploded, or so I thought then. I hoped the change would reset us: a montage of Hallmark moments—card games in candlelight, spontaneous hugs and important, healing chats. What I got was a nuclear holocaust five days after we arrived. A week ago, the lake house burned to the ground. Our last place of safety. Now, I watch my children huddle together, their faces lit up by our tiny campfire beneath the towering blackness of endless pine forests. I wonder what tomorrow will bring—for the world, but also for my family. My daughters are so young. They’ve seen so little of life, but far too much. What future can they possibly have? What future can I make for them? I must keep them safe. No matter what lies ahead. Already I know it's a promise I don't have the power to make... but I'll die trying to keep it. A gripping tale of resilience, hope and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her children, from a million-copy bestselling author. If you love Boo Walker, Where the Forest Meets the Stars and Julianne MacLean, you won’t be able to put this book down.
