When the stars begin to fall from the sky, only one child can hear the forest calling for help. Twelve-year-old Elowen discovers that her small coastal village sits beside an ancient woodland where forgotten lanterns once kept darkness from swallowing the world. To restore the light, she must journey beyond fear, learn the language of trees, and discover what it truly means to carry hope.
I am a storyteller drawn to the quiet tensions that live beneath ordinary moments, where memory, love, and loss shape the choices we make. My writing explores the emotional architecture of people and places, blending atmosphere with deeply human reflection. Through each story, I aim to create worlds that feel lived in, intimate, and impossible to forget.View all by Beth A Depaolo
