The Midnight Garden - Paperback

From debut author Elaine Roth comes a hopeful and heartfelt story about a young widow who uncovers the magic of everyday life--and the power of second chances.

After the sudden death of her husband, Hope finds herself reeling from the loss in more ways than one. First a young wife and now a grieving widow, she feels like fodder for never-ending town gossip.

But when Hope meets Will, a screenwriter back in town to run his family's inn, she sees in him another resident oddball. And like her, Will has been navigating a loss of his own.

As Hope falls for Will, she seeks out another enigma in town: Maeve, an eccentric woman who makes healing teas and communes with the dead. Some of the townspeople think she's a grifter, a fake. Will, too, is skeptical.

Hope yearns for closure and forgiveness, seeing in Maeve the chance to trust herself again--and in Will, a chance to rediscover the enchantment in the world around her...

And the courage to build a bigger life than she ever thought possible.
