Irises in September

In the shadow of the Northeast Georgia mountains, a sudden tragedy forces a woman to rebuild her life on her own terms.

When loss shatters her world, transformation is Nelda's only path forward. With the sudden death of her husband, Nelda Clay's crystal-clear vision of life dissolves into a haze of uncertainty. Nearing fifty and alone for the first time in her adult life, she must navigate a world that feels completely unfamiliar—yet unexpectedly full of possibility.

As Nelda learns to live again, what begins with heartbreak evolves into a joyful journey of self-discovery. Step by step, the broken pieces of her past rearrange into something beautiful: a mosaic of peace, purpose, and quiet resilience at the base of Clancy Mountain.

Walk beside Nelda as she rebuilds her life, and discover a sweeping, multi-generational saga about family roots, small-town secrets, and the courage to start over.

Irises in September is the heartwarming first book in a five-part generational saga. It combines the cozy, community warmth of Virgin River with the gripping small-town drama and family mystery of Kay Bratt's Hart's Ridge.
