The Rose of Jericho – Available for pre-order

Cass Doyle has always trusted stories — the ones she tells, the ones she remembers, and the ones she’s been told about who she is. But when a late-in-life revelation about her father cracks open the past, the narrative she’s lived inside begins to shift in unsettling ways.

As Cass navigates the strange terrain of a new relationship with the powerful, enigmatic Milo, old certainties dissolve. Dreams grow vivid, memories feel newly suspect, and the history of her childhood — shaped by a fiercely independent mother and carefully guarded secrets — refuses to stay settled. What begins as a search for facts becomes something deeper: a reckoning with the stories that shape identity, love, and belonging.

At a solitary coastal retreat, far from the gravitational pull of home, Cass confronts the question she can no longer avoid: who is she when no one else gets to define her? As the boundaries between memory, imagination, and creation begin to blur, a new voice emerges — one that may hold the key not just to her past, but to the life she will claim for herself.

Rose of Jericho is a luminous, psychologically rich novel about origin stories, creative awakening, and the quiet courage required to rewrite the script of one’s own life.
