Past Forward: Volume One - Paperback

by Chautona Havig (Author)

Some people long for the simple life. She lives it.

In a world where "cottagecore" draws young women into a new, romanticized life of floral dresses, walks in meadows, and infusing beauty into random moments of their days, this has been Willow Finley's life since birth.

Isolated on a farm since birth with only her mother as a companion, Willow has never gone to school, to church, or even a mall. No, she's not Amish, but you wouldn't know it from her life without electricity. Life couldn't be more idyllic.

Then her mother died.

Thrust into the so-called "real world," Willow finds herself stuck in an endless cycle of "firsts." First contact with the police, first time making friends, and even the first time needing to prove her existence!

Now that she's "out in the world," Willow has to decide who she is going to let into that life.

Her mother's financial advisor? The cop who insists on inserting himself into her life? The preacher's wife who won't let her push them all away?

Welcome to Willow's world, and welcome, Willow... to ours.

Volume one is the first of six volumes in the Past Forward serial novel.
