Before What Remains After, these stories helped shape the path.
War Within
After her mother’s death, Maeve Roberts uncovers a hidden ring—and a secret that reshapes her past. Her search leads her to a dying man who may be more than a stranger.
Haunted by childhood trauma and pulled between fear and compassion, Maeve faces an impossible choice: protect herself, or risk everything for a truth she’s only just begun to understand.
The Tree
When a man returns home to fell the old elm his father planted, he’s prepared to clear away the past. What he finds instead is a memory carved deep in the bark—one that teaches him forgiveness grows quietly, even in winter.
The Tree is a story about loss, reconciliation, and how redemption can take root in unexpected soil.
Trash
Set in a quiet Alberta town where one woman’s morning routine uncovers more than discarded bottles and broken memories, Trash explores redemption, dignity, and the hidden worth of what the world overlooks.
If you’ve ever wondered what beauty might still lie beneath the ruin, this story is for you.
