Crossroads

When the past comes knocking, sisterhood opens the door.

Rosie O’Shea is determined to keep her late husband’s outback hotel alive—even if it means putting her own dreams on hold.

Stephanie Bailey is barely holding things together, with her farm on the verge of collapse and her marriage unraveling. And Faith Montgomery, a city girl untethered, finds temporary refuge at the Crossroads Hotel, all while quietly searching for her birth mother.

At the Crossroads Hotel, long-buried secrets surface, betrayals come to light, and unlikely bonds begin to form. Together, these women must face their pasts to forge a future of their own.

The Crossroads is a standalone novel in The Homecoming Collection – a moving women’s fiction story about second chances, unexpected friendships, and the strength found in chosen family.
