Nicolette James: The Woman Who Built Small Worlds, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

After decades spent caring for others-children, patients, a demanding mother-Sydney Jamison finally chooses herself. In the quiet coastal town of Seabrook, she trades her stethoscope for paintbrushes and wood glue, transforming a simple garage into a workshop of dreams. With each handcrafted dollhouse, she builds not just miniature rooms but pieces of the life she always longed to live.

As Sydney rediscovers joy in the small things-vanilla candles, porch tea with her neighbor Miranda, and late-night sketches by lamplight-she slowly begins to put herself back together. Unexpected friendships deepen. Family bonds stretch and mend. And when Graham, a man with his gentle past, enters her life, Sydney is reminded that love doesn't have to rescue you-it can simply walk beside you.

But when her intricate work catches the attention of a Chicago art museum, Sydney must decide: Will she return to a life of pressure and perfection, or stay true to the quiet, powerful world she's built with her own two hands?

The Woman Who Built Small Worlds is a heartfelt novel about starting over, finding peace, and honoring the small things that make life beautiful. For readers of women's fiction who love stories of creative reinvention, slow love, and the freedom of choosing yourself, at any age.
