What you need to know before your trail

Eden Martin has spent her days buried in books, more at home there than in the glittering New York life she’s supposed to want. Then, in a single shattering night, her beloved grandmother dies and her engagement falls apart—and Eden does the most impulsive thing she’s ever done. She leaves it all behind for a four-hundred-year-old thatched cottage in the sleepy English village of Barton Heath.

There she meets Hazel Welsh, the village herbalist, whose remedies have healed the village for generations—and who has been expecting Eden for longer than seems possible. As Eden learns the old ways, an unfamiliar magic tingling at her fingertips, she begins to wonder if Barton Heath was where she was always destined to live, and maybe even find love again…

But the life Eden left behind isn’t finished with her. As her old world reaches across the ocean to reclaim her—and the one person who understands her gift slips beyond reach—Eden must decide what she’s willing to fight for, before it’s too late.

Travel Guide

New York

The Upper West Side:  Eden’s New York life centres around here – she owns a spacious, upscale apartment here. She works at a university (not named -but not unlike NYU or Columbia). The part of the city that is also featured revolves around high-end lounges where she accompanies her successful fiancé, Robert.

England

In the novel, Barton Heath is set in the rural, coastal county of Suffolk, England. This is a fictional village created by the author specifically for the book. There is a real-life village called Barton-on-the-Heath, but it is located in Warwickshire in the Cotswolds, rather than Suffolk.
