Where Light Lingers - Farley, Ashley

. .

Biographie:
Ashley Farley writes faith-based women's fiction full of heart, hope, and Southern charm. A longtime wife, proud mom, and devoted dog-mom to two Labs who think they're in charge, she splits her time between Richmond and Virginia's Northern Neck. Her heart, though, belongs to the South Carolina Lowcountry-a place of moss-draped oaks, shrimp and grits, and stories waiting to be told....

Sommaire:

A grieving woman. A forgotten garden. And the mysterious stranger who helps her find her way back to herself.

After six years of caring for her ailing parents, literature professor Selwyn Aldridge is alone in the weathered Victorian house where she grew up. Grief hangs heavy in every room, and her mother's once-glorious garden is buried beneath weeds. When a bottle of morphine disappears during a moment of despair, Selwyn begins to question her grip on reality-until a radiant stranger named Blossom appears, arriving with uncanny timing and an instinct for exactly what Selwyn needs.

With Blossom's quiet guidance, Selwyn begins to restore her mother's garden-and, slowly, her own sense of purpose. But when an old flame resurfaces, a pregnant student turns up in need, and strange disturbances echo from the garage apartment, it becomes clear Selwyn's story is far from over.

Set against the lush, literary backdrop of Oxford, Mississippi, Where the Light Lingers is a soulful novel about second chances, chosen family, and the quiet miracles that take root when we begin again.
