Begin this journey with me, accepting one fundamental truth: The past is always trying to take something from the present. – Writer in Residence
Desperate to save her career, a burned-out writer escapes to a Lowcountry retreat where a magnetic bestselling author, a soul-stirring Gullah community, and a shocking family secret threaten to rewrite everything she knows about herself. Rich with romance, history, and redemption, this is a powerful story about reclaiming your voice and discovering that the truth you’ve been running from may be the very thing that sets you free.
To find her voice, Alex must confront the ghosts of her past and the fears of her present.
