Quiet on the Porch is a nuanced, multi-generational novella set in a small Midwestern town that examines the intricate dynamics of family secrets, love, and redemption.
Family is the story we inherit-and the one we choose to tell.Janelle Goodman was coming home to marry; instead, she attended a funeral.
Raised on Liberty Lane in Oakwood Township, a small Midwestern town where porches have witnessed generations of joys, losses, and whispered truths, Janelle built a life in Chicago but never truly left the pull of home-or Julien, her childhood sweetheart.
When her father dies suddenly, the shock reverberates through Oakwood Township, a town where the Goodman porch watched over generations of family joys, heartaches, and unspoken truths.
But grief isn't the only thing waiting for Janelle. Her return sets in motion a chain of revelations that will reopen old wounds and force a reckoning with the legacy she's inherited. In the place she once felt safest, Janelle must navigate a tangle of love, truth, and legacy-and decide who to hold on to, and what to let go.
Tender, evocative, and deeply human, Quiet on the Porch is a story about legacy, identity, and the quiet moments that change everything.
