Sometimes you need to embrace your shadow before you find your light.
When Elizabeth Whit inherits a tiny bed and breakfast in the forests of New England, she jumps at the chance to build a simpler life for herself and her teenagers. But she arrives to find the property a dilapidated mess, with irate neighbors and an unfamiliar community. Handsome handyman Joe keeps sending her mixed signals, and her son seems hellbent on bringing all of their old problems into new places. Failure is threatening all of Elizabeth's hopes when she discovers something magical on her land ... something that is calling her into the woods at night, and begging her to surrender...
As the autumn leaves turn, Elizabeth isn't sure if she's falling apart or falling into place. Despite the obstacles in her path, she can't bring herself to give up on her new home. Is it the voices that whisper to her, telling her to push on? The friends who see her for who she truly is? Or is it the way that Joe holds her hand when she's afraid? All paths lead to the oak grove. One way or another, Elizabeth will have to descend into 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 second chance to come home to love.
