THE BOY IN THE PAINTING
COMING SOON…
an ALIce in wonderland inspired why choose portal fantasy
When home becomes a person, and you lose them, where are you supposed to go?
Since the sudden and tragic death of her husband, painter Alice Raine has asked herself that question a thousand times. The only answer she's come up with is an old blue Victorian house three-thousand miles away, situated in the small, coastal town of Meadowbrook.
But grief is not so easily swayed by changes of scenery, though Alice finds that new friends help some. Like Jessa, the extroverted cafe owner who's got a smirk like sin and forces Alice out of her shell. Or Harley, the local librarian with eyes the color of nostalgia, who has Alice picking up her paintbrush again. Even Ori, the grouchy tailor, who also happens to be Jessa and Harley's housemate, has Alice wondering if the door to her heart will stay closed forever like she once thought.
It's fortunate that Alice is desperate for an other-worldly escape, because once whispered thoughts of more fill her head, Alice is pushed down a rabbit hole of secrets that any sane person would try to escape. But Alice discovers that there comes a point in life where you have to make a choice to let go and fall. Not in a bad way, but hopefully into something good.
