The Stonegarden
Romance
She’s starting over. He’s at the end. Daisy Tate left Chicago under less than perfect circumstances, moving quickly to Door County, Wisconsin in the brave effort to rebuild her life. Settling into the picturesque village of Orchard Bay, she knows that her only hope for a new start is through the door of a shabby cottage. All the while, on the other side of the peninsula, he’s been building a fence out of stones, each one pulled from the land and wedged into the chambers of a long-held sorrow. While searching for second chances, a bitter secret sends them both to a stone-laden shore along Lake Michigan, but for very different reasons. The Stonegarden is set in Door County, Wisconsin. Amidst the backdrop of the peninsula, the story takes you through vintage streetscapes and charming harbor towns, sweeping orchards and dark, quiet places nestled between pockets of twisting cedar and craggy, shoreline cliffs.

Daisy Starts Over in Door County, Wisconsin.
The Stonegarden is set in Door County, Wisconsin, on the edge of Lake Michigan. In this novel, I chose to write about mature characters because people on the north side of the mid-century mark are inherently interesting and beautiful and flawed; they've lived through much of life's joyful experiences, heartbreaks, setbacks, and successes. They understand when to push forward and fight, and they know when to employ the grace of simply letting things go. If you love the Great Lakes and strong, loving, midwestern women, I hope you'll read The Stonegarden.
