I had a 5 star feeling about Weyward from the start. This beautiful cover is a perfect match for the story told inside. 

Three stories of three women - spanning centuries & generations - are beautifully woven together to create such a powerful narrative. I loved the parallels in each of the Weyward women’s lives & how each of them displayed immense strength, resilience & independence. 

An absolutely stellar debut novel that combines magical realism, historical fiction & mystery. This is one that I know stay with me! I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for an impactful read, with feminine strength at the core.

I can’t wait to read her newest book, The Sirens, publishing in March 2025!
