During the Great Depression, two migrant workers-George Milton and Lennie Small-dream of one day owning their own land and living off the "fat of the land." But Lennie's gentle fixations on soft things often lead to trouble, and after losing yet another job, the pair move on in search of a fresh start.
They arrive at Tyler Ranch, just outside the town of Soledad, where they meet Clara Tyler-the hardworking, compassionate woman who runs the property with quiet strength. As Clara welcomes them into her world, she offers more than shelter: she gives them purpose, dignity, and the chance to build something lasting.
With patience, gentle guidance, and shared routines, George and Lennie begin to rewrite their story-not with tragedy, but with tenderness. This reimagining of Steinbeck's classic and 1992 adaptation directed by Gary Sinise, offers a hopeful alternative, where found family, emotional healing, and quiet rebellion transform a fragile dream into a living legacy.

CountryCore Series: From Osaka to Paris (WLW)
Three years ago, Remi Lavigne lost her wife to tragic circumstances, leaving her to raise their children alone as she tends to her giant corn, wheat and dairy farm. Feeling as though she's fallen short of what her wife always dreamed, she's dedicated herself to making sure the children have everything they'd ever want or need. Although with her busy schedule, taking the time to watch the sprouts bloom hasn't been her top priority. She knows she has to do better, but what she hadn't accounted for was the arrival of her new au pair to spark sensations within herself that she's held back since her wife's passing. Devon Yamada was born in Texas and spent her first six years there until her father's job took him back to his home country of Japan. Now as a full grown biracial adult, she's ready to go home. Unable to have children of her own, she's dedicated herself to becoming the best caregiver to them since she was only fifteen and now as an adult, she's ready to put her skills to the test. Where better to start than just outside of her birthplace of Fort Worth, Texas? Finally home for the first time in almost two decades, she's ready for her life to truly begin. What she hadn't anticipated was just how stirring her new employer is with her stern disposition, yet kind eyes. After only a short while, Remi can already see changes in her children. Primarily in her son as he finally speaks to someone aside from his older sister for the first time in literal years. Her hope is beginning to restore and it may all be due to Devon, though this wasn't something she expected. Devon has a way of seeing straight through her at every opportunity. Drawn in by the beguiling allure they both share, Devon can also feel herself changing. ⚠️Trigger Warning: This novel contains depictions of grief and child development. ⚢ Lesbian/Queer Romance with Mature Content 📚 We're nearly done! !!!My novels are completely off-limits to any adaptations and if plagiarized, you will be repAbgeschlossene Geschichte

Spoken in Silence| ✓
In the autumn of 1916, deep in rural Ontario, Clara DuBois, a young Black woman, spends her days tending to her aunt's modest farm and working as a nurse's aide at a military hospital overflowing with wounded soldiers. She keeps her head down, works hard, and knows better than to expect kindness from a world that has rarely offered it. Still, she finds purpose in her care-until a single encounter shatters the ground she's built her life on. When Lieutenant Edward Whitcombe, a well-born, sharp-tongued soldier from a wealthy Toronto family, is brought in with a shattered leg and a sharper temper, Clara is assigned to tend to his wounds. What begins as a clash of class, race, and stubborn wills slowly softens into something neither of them expected: understanding. And, perhaps, something even deeper. But as rumours stir and the shadow of separation looms ever larger, Clara and Edward must decide whether the emotions between them is strong enough to endure the forces determined to tear them apart.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
