Elderberry Croft Becky Doughty

On a crisp January breeze, a new girl sweeps into the neighborhood, breathing life - and perhaps a hint of magic - into the cottage she christens Elderberry Croft.




The folks at The Coach House Trailer Park can't help but fall under Willow Goodhope's spell as she charms them with her vibrant nature, her elderberry gifts, and her outrageous laughter. But there's something about her, a secret sadness that hovers at the corners of her irrepressible smile, and it has everyone talking.




What brings the mysterious young woman to this dead end place? From what-or whom-is she hiding? Doc catches her burning letters in her stone fire pit, and Myra swears Willow drinks alone out in the moonlight. Joe glimpses the whispering shadows clinging to the girl's coat tails, and Patti is certain the young beauty is after her husband. Eddie and Donny compete to see who can make her smile first...even though both figure she'd prefer her men with good jobs, good homes, and good teeth. Kathy is doing everyone a favor by keeping a close eye on the wild child next door.




Through her binoculars. And what she sees doesn't sit well with any of them.




Elderberry Croft is the inspirational tale of one woman's journey toward hope, and the people whose lives she transforms along the way.




If you like clean and wholesome women's fiction and books like Garden Spells, The School of Essential Ingredients, or In the Light of the Garden, you'll love Elderberry Croft.
