THE EDGE OF THE WOODS
The odds are stacked against Emma.
Fatherless and poor in a remote village where men, money and faith determine everything, her only hope for a decent life is to marry before her eighteenth birthday. Though her prospects aren’t good and her options aren’t appealing, to live as an unmarried woman is a life sentence of silence and solitude. Emma has to make a match.
But when a beautiful, antlered boy appears in her dreams and tempts her to join him in the forbidden woods, another path opens to her. Finally, after a life devoid of possibilities, Emma has a choice to make:to run from her future, or fight for it.

“‘My first read of 2021, and it was excellent! Highly recommend!’”
“I truly enjoyed this book - as in, I was laying in bed at 2am in the morning trying to finish it knowing full well that my alarm was set to go off at 4am for work, but I could not put it down! ”
“Beautifully written and a wonderful captivating and enchanting story full of depth. An interesting concept with heart warming characters you can relate to and engage with. I couldn’t put it down. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommended.”
“I really, really enjoyed this book. This is exactly what I like my YA fiction to be like!”
“This is now one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. I loved it. I love that Emma solved her problems without relying on men. Her potential romantic partners never jumped in to save her and sweep her off her feet. She was the driving force. They followed her, not the other way around.”
“This book has killed me but I love it”
