Fig Days

Returning home can mean facing the past you' ve tried to forget. Elloree Elliston comes back to her family' s Charleston County home on Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, haunted by a tragedy she cannot shake. Hoping for refuge from a looming lawsuit in Idaho, she expects isolation — but instead finds a community alive with secrets, hidden histories, and unexpected connections. As her father Jack' s health declines, Elloree uncovers the mysterious past of the man she thought she knew. Around her, the islanders — a wise natural healer, a pair of philosophical crabbers, and her sister' s devoted housekeeper — each carry stories of love, loss, and sacrifice, including a desperate fight to protect those far away. Amid tidal rivers, moss-draped live oaks, and the timeless rhythm of the South Carolina Lowcountry, Elloree must confront her guilt, face painful truths, and discover that healing often comes from the most surprising places. Fig Days is a haunting, lyrical tale of family, faith, and redemption, where secrets unravel, hearts are mended, and hope finds a way.
