The HideAway

When Anya boards a Greyhound with nothing but her backpack and 3 matches, she's fleeing fourteen years of silent oppression.

Her destination: The HideAway, a refuge in Montana's wilderness where founder Ruth Evergreen has built more than shelter-she's created sanctuary for broken souls learning to speak again.

Among the community of misfits, Anya discovers what she'd forgotten existed: Kai's patient woodworking, Maria's nurturing meals, Claire's fierce art, and the possibility of being herself without fear. As she plants lavender and paints wildflowers, the retreat becomes a tapestry of healing-woven with laughter, tears, and the unexpected return of her sister Elena.

But when her husband Mark's shadow appears at the gate, Anya must choose to hide again or stand with her newfound family to protect the fragile peace they've built.

A story of survival, reconnection, and the courage to bloom again, The HideAway reminds us that healing isn't linear, home is what we choose, and sometimes finding yourself means letting others help you remember who you were all along.

Perfect for readers who loved It Ends With Us and The Great Alone.
