Where Light Lingers - Hardcover

by Ashley Farley (Author)

After six years of caring for her ailing parents, literature professor Selwyn Aldridge finds herself alone in the weathered Victorian home where she grew up. Grief lingers in every room, and her mother's once-glorious garden is buried beneath weeds. When a bottle of morphine goes missing 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 that 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.
