Before the Milward sisters found love, heartbreak, and themselves, there were the parents who raised them.
In this intimate novella told in five tender chapters, readers are invited into the quiet thoughts of the Milward parents as they remember the childhoods of Rosalina, Liliana, and Petunia. From delicate Rosalina's obedience, to Liliana's unspoken strength, to Petunia's dazzling chaos, each chapter reveals what the girls left behind---and what their parents carried all along.
Told in soft memories and garden metaphors, A Garden in Their Image is a haunting companion to Where the Wildflowers Grow and Drizzled & Remembered. It is a story about the echoes of parenting, the guilt of loving imperfectly, and the quiet hope that what we plant in love may one day bloom in forgiveness.
Some flowers grow wild. Some wilt in silence. But all remember the hands that tried to shape them.

The Forgotten Heir
The palace had been abandoned for centuries. Locals whispered it was cursed. Haunted. Forgotten by time. But when Rosa stepped inside, she felt something different. The walls seemed to breathe. The shadows seemed to watch. And in the silence, a pair of eyes from a faded portrait seemed to know her name. Drawn deeper into its mysteries, Rosa found herself caught between history and something far more unsettling, memories that didn't belong to her, and a love that felt older than time itself. Some places are more than ruins. Some stories are more than legends. And some connections... are impossible to escape.
