Where it all begins
A town that refuses to let anyone stay broken.
Tessa Wilder needed somewhere quiet to put herself back together, and the little apartment over the Lark Hollow flower shop seemed about as far from her old life as a person could get.
She did not count on the man next door. Or his motherless little girl, who took one look at the new lady from over the flowers and decided, with the certainty of the very young, that she was worth keeping.
The Long Way Home is the free prequel to the Lark Hollow series, the story of how a jilted bride, a guarded widower, and a town that refuses to let anyone stay broken first found their way to one another. It is a tender, clean, cry-then-feel-held kind of read, perfect for an afternoon by the window.
