Between the lines
When Emma finds an old leather-bound book, she has no idea that she has taken the first step into a mystery greater than herself. At first, there are only strange coincidences - words that appear on the pages, shadows in the mirror that don't belong to her. But soon the book seems to know more than it should - more about the past and a truth that has been hidden for years. In her search for answers, Emma stumbles upon a trail that leads to a missing girl, a silent conspiracy, and an organization hidden in the city's underground. Each clue brings her closer to the truth - and at the same time to a danger she didn't see coming. Because nothing about this book is ordinary. Nothing about it is random. And nothing about it found her without reason. The deeper Emma delves into the mystery, the clearer it becomes: some secrets choose you - and never let you go.
Life and Emery
In a quiet town pulsing with secrets and second chances, Life and Emery follows the journey of Emery-a woman haunted by loss, fiercely independent, and unexpectedly pregnant-as she stumbles into a life that feels both foreign and strangely meant to be. Offered refuge behind the bustling warmth of a local bar, she carves out a modest sanctuary in a converted storage room, determined to rebuild her world piece by piece. But rebuilding isn't simple. Especially when Jamie-stoic, loyal, and frustratingly magnetic-keeps showing up, offering far more than safety. As their relationship deepens and emotional walls begin to crumble, Emery must confront the ghosts of her past, the tenderness of chosen family, and the terrifying beauty of becoming a mother. Woven through painterly scenes of domestic intimacy, fragile vulnerability, and quiet joy, this story is a love letter to found family, the ache of beginning again, and the fierce softness that comes with finally letting someone in.
