Eliza’s Home

December 1, 2013

I wrote Eliza Carpenter's love story. 

ElizasHome1400

This novella is really special to me. Eliza Carpenter has been present in all the Cypress Hollow novels, but I had to travel back to 1940s Cypress Hollow to find out how she met Joshua. 

Eliza is much smarter than I am. She always has been. Those quotes at the top of the chapters? If they don't come from Eliza,  I have no idea where they come from, because half the time when I reread them I have no memory of writing them. 

It was a total joy to hang out with her. (Her story, truthfully, surprised me. I didn't know her backstory until she told me, and I'm glad I get to tell you.) 

ELIZA'S HOME is available here:

Paper | Kindle | Nook | Kobo | iBooks

UK: Paper | Kindle

AU/NZ:  Paper | Kindle 
(with a darling different cover — don't both of the covers look a little Anne-ish?)

9780857982438

 (If a link above is not live, then it's coming within a day or two — some vendors are slower than others to catch up.) 

(Oh, my gosh, I'm SO EXCITED!)

    The covers look super Anne-ish!! Love it when a character gets a back story.

    Bought it Saturday-sat down and “tearfully” read it.
    More, more, more please. I love “living” in Cypress Hollow and want to read all about Eliza and Joshua’s life together.

    I love that you didn’t know the story until they told it to you. I love that you don’t remember writing some of the quotes. Most of all, I love that you love doing this enough to share it with the rest of us. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I just finished reading Eliza’s Home. Her story touched me in so many ways. I LOVE stories that end happy! I cried. Thank you for another great read.
