Finding Home

After a sudden tragedy shatters the life she loved, Sophie Bennett flees the coastal home that once held all her dreams. Heartbroken and desperate for a fresh start, she settles in Hillford—a quiet, close-knit town tucked away in rural Northwestern Queensland. She hopes its gentle pace and wide-open skies will help her outrun the grief that refuses to let her go.

Taking over the local bookstore gives Sophie a new routine, but Hillford offers far more than a change of scenery. Her rented house carries a strangely comforting presence, the quirky townsfolk welcome her with warmth and curiosity, and a man she never expected to meet stirs emotions she thought were gone forever.

As Sophie is drawn deeper into the town’s quiet magic and the community that wraps around her, she begins to realise that healing isn’t about forgetting—it’s about choosing to live again.

Finding Home is a heartfelt, uplifting novel about second chances, the power of community, and discovering that home is not always a place—it’s the people who help you find your way back to yourself.
