πŸ“– Dearest
Jacquie Walters
HORROR ⟒ PARANORMAL ⟒ THRILLER

Flora is a new mom, enamored of her baby girl, Iris, even if she arrived a few weeks early. With her husband still deployed, Flora navigates the newborn stage alone. But as the sleepless nights pass in the loneliness of their half-empty home, the edges of her reality begin to blur.

Just as Flora becomes convinced she is losing her mind, a surprising guest shows up: Flora’s own mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken in years. Can they mend their fraught relationship? Or is there more Flora’s mother isn’t telling her about the events that led to their estrangement?

Life by Wyetha is a lifestyle blog focusing on discovering the true path to happiness through life’s experiences. I discuss my journey of learning to live better with Diabetes, finding creative ways to decorate my home, and practicing self-care for women. My blog feeds the soul and senses of the mature woman, but ALL ages are welcome.
