Forest of Living Secrets is a heartfelt, humorous contemporary fantasy set in the misty woods of Whispering Pines, Oregon. Recently divorced Elias Thorne inherits his great-uncle’s remote cabin and discovers the bordering Forest of Living Secrets—ancient trees that remember every hidden truth, regret, and unspoken word. As the forest gently (and sometimes cheekily) forces Eli to confront his failed marriage, buried shame, and fear of quiet, he forms unexpected bonds with local botanist Lena and the watchful woods themselves. Through floating lanterns, truth-telling mushrooms, and ribbon-tied promises, Eli learns that some secrets are meant to be carried forward—lighter, not heavier. A warm, witty tale of healing, second chances, and listening to the silence.
