Gardens and Dreams: Hearts Quest

In the garden of the soul, some dreams bloom in the light—while others are watered.

Abandoned. Jeanie Blake wanders the wind-whipped streets of Chicago, a girl searching for a mother who left behind nothing but a hollow ache in her heart. When she flees to the coast with her friend Kelly, the sun-drenched beach offers no sanctuary. Amidst the shifting sands, secrets emerge that will test the very foundations of friendship and trust. Will Jeanie find her mother, or will the city's shadows find her first?

 Love Letter: For young Patricia, love was a fragile petal pressed between the pages of a notebook. But when her first true love is snatched away by fate, she is left haunted by a letter that never reached its destination. In a world of missed connections and silver-lined memories, Patricia must learn that some loves are lost to the wind... and some ghosts never stop calling your name.
Healing Water: Frank's old-time motel sits at the edge of a miracle, a place where the broken and the weary come to be washed clean by the "healing waters." But there is a price for every miracle. Beneath the flickering neon signs and the quiet ripple of the pool, a darkness lingers. Why do the innocent suffer accidents in the very place meant for restoration? Frank is about to discover that some waters don't just heal—they remember.
