Farthest House
A novel full of mysticism and the healing power of self-forgiveness and love.

Buried

Up against loss, Willow’s father distances himself from his mother and Willow doesn’t meet her grandmother for several years.
Four Generations
Following Willow’s life and Willow’s incredible passion for painting despite loneliness, a physical handicap. To say nothing of being raised by a father plagued with secrets. Under those conditions, the spirit of Amelie-Anais weaves together the lives of four enigmatic generations in Farthest House.
