Hidden-Alice
"A story about finding home, healing, and the courage to choose yourself."
Emilia Ashcroft has spent most of her life living by her mother's rules, shaped by expectations she never chose and a future that never felt like hers. Desperate for something softer, something honest, something that might finally feel like home, she walks away from everything she's ever known.
But freedom is rarely simple.
Landing in the quiet town of Pinegrove, Lia finds herself tangled in family secrets, unexpected friendships, and a ranch that feels more like a refuge than a workplace. As she rebuilds her life piece by piece, she discovers that healing isn't linear, love isn't predictable, and the past has a way of resurfacing when you least expect it.
What begins as an escape becomes a journey toward identity, forgiveness, and the kind of belonging she never believed she deserved.
