Forgotten Garden

Lost, alone, and grieving, the thirty-eight-year-old Cassandra finds her world shattered by the death of her beloved grandmother, Nell. This loss, combined with a tragic accident from a decade ago, leaves Cassandra feeling like she has lost everything dear to her. However, Nell’s unexpected and mysterious bequest throws Cassandra’s life into disarray, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about herself and her family.

Inheriting a collection of dark and enchanting fairytales penned by Eliza Makepeace Rutherford, a Victorian author who disappeared in the early 20th century, Cassandra also receives a cliff-top cottage on the other side of the globe. With courage in hand, she embarks on a journey to follow in Nell’s footsteps and uncover the truth about their family history and past, unaware that this quest will lead her to a new life of her own.
