Where the Sea Lavender Grows
A woman restoring a historic cottage on the English coast uncovers a startling connection to the past in a haunting and bittersweet novel about art, loss, and love by the author of Closest Kept. Elise, an artist grieving the loss of her son and a fracturing marriage, is in North Norfolk to restore Marsh House to its former glory, its walls adorned with the fading murals and paintings of its long-ago owner, Lilias Carter-Brown. Elise makes an immediate connection to the house, to Sam--a carpenter and a comfort--and to history itself when an old photograph draws Elise into Lilias's heartbreaking past. In 1939, with war threatening, Lilias and her sister turn Marsh House into a sanctuary for London evacuees--a young boy and his mother. But it's the boy's father, Harry, an enlistee soon to report for duty, with whom Lilias forms an unexpected and intimate bond. When Harry suddenly vanishes without a trace, it changes the course of Lilias's life forever. Now, as Elise and Sam work to solve the mystery of the disappearance, the restoration of Marsh House is bringing Elise back to life as well--to love again, to put her and Lilias's pasts to rest, and to finally move on.

Closest Kept
Breaking free from the past is one woman's greatest challenge in an emotional novel about love, friendship, and the courage to overcome the worst of times by the author of Prickly Company. Best friends Lily and Inga do everything together--they even meet their future loves at the same bar. After one serendipitous night, it seems like it's going to be Lily and Alex and Inga and Matt forever. But life gets more complicated. A job offer moves Inga and Matt from Norwich to London. Lily, who craves stability after a traumatic childhood, is already struggling with the change when Inga confides in her a secret that could tear the group apart for good. At the same time, Lily's friendship with Matt deepens, and she wonders if she was always meant to be with him instead of Alex. As the two couples try to hold on to their dreams and one another, Lily's life is further upended by the reappearance of her long-lost sister--and all the terrible truths she brings home. Lily needs her chosen family more than ever, but in order to heal the rifts, she must find the courage to be honest with herself and reveal the secrets she's kept hidden from her loved ones for too long.

Prickly Company
"Neighbors, friends, and hedgehogs--they're all looking for a new path. Frances Mathews doesn't get out much since her husband died, but that doesn't stop her from jump-starting a campaign to create a hedgehog highway in Hilltop Place--feeding stations, holes at the bottoms of gates and fences, and wild garden areas for hibernation. To Frances's delight, her neighbours are on board. Mostly. There are Jess and Michael, whose marriage is cracking under the unanticipated strain of a recent adoption. And Ryan, a wounded war reporter struggling to connect with his son after a divorce and forced to return to an exasperating parental fold. Plus, a very forthright single mum new to the neighbourhood and an exceedingly proper couple not about to upend their picture-perfect garden for prickly nuisances. As relationships--from the romantic to the nerve-racking--form and secrets are unearthed, Hilltop Place is threatened in ways that affect them all...unaware hedgehogs included. What Frances and her charitable neighbours soon discover about themselves and each other is hardly what any of them expected"--
