Protecting Her Peace
Ruby Blue is as fascinating as a storm rolling in through a majestic mountain range: powerful, reckless, and remarkably beautiful to witness. She's fought her way through two life-altering heartaches, a sixteen-year battle with a debilitating eating disorder, and a running addiction that nearly took her life. However, it's her husband's simple, promiscuous proposition to her best friend that makes her question everything. As a mother, she wants to continue to do what's best for her two children, but with her marriage dangling by a thread, right now, she's just desperately trying to stay afloat in her recovery and not fall back into the comforting arms of the disorders that almost killed her years ago.
Although the odds of success are tremendously stacked against her, Ruby refuses to give up. Her strength, bravery, and intentionality are a reminder that we all have the capability to overcome incredible obstacles. Her humanity, humility, and humor are proof that we don't have to navigate them perfectly to succeed in living our truth. Ruby Blue's not just a character in a book. She's the embodiment of anyone who's ever been brave enough to go toe-to-toe with their childhood traumas, defy the toxic body image ideals of society, and fight for freedom from addiction.
Brooke Heberling's first novel will make you laugh, cry, swoon, and applaud, all while inspiring you to fight to protect your own peace.
Brooke is feverishly working on her anticipated second novel!
Song of Sweetleaf
Deep within the woods of Western North Carolina, a small secluded cabin serves as the home of novelist Nova Leigh Bodhi. This safehaven of solitude, however, was not obtained by choice. After the brutal murder/suicide of Nova’s inlaws, her beloved husband Dhruv died in a terrible accident that was entirely her fault. Now, she is alone and drowning in the deep waters of depression and guilt. The grief she’s experiencing saturates her mind and body, but it is the ghosts of Dhruv’s past which come to haunt her future. The secrets sing throughout the pines and they will soon make themselves known to all.
Blinded by love for her late husband, Nova has blocked out the connections tying the Bodhi family’s untimely deaths; however, van-life internet sleuth Adam Ottomeyer sees the case with clear eyes. The twenty-four-year-old hopeful has been investigating the family’s tragic timeline since 2020, and what he has unearthed brings him to the twisted trails of the forest.
Bodhi roots run as deep as those of the ancient oaks that stipple the woods, and the locals aren’t keen on conversing with nosy outsiders. Adam’s luck changes when he meets Nova for himself, but the oblivion of her family’s past makes him determined to answer the question that no one apart from him is asking: “What actually happened to the Bodhis?”
With the investigation into the deaths reopened, Nova is exposed to the twisted lies which her late husband’s family made sure to bury long before their actual deaths. Adam’s drive and determination ignites a spark in Nova she thought was squandered the day Dhruv was killed. The guilt she’s harbored erodes away, bit by bit, with every truth which bubbles up from the deep.
Bestselling author Brooke Heberling’s Song of Sweetleaf takes readers on a twisted tale of love, grief, passion, and deception that will leave readers torn between the sweet memories Nova holds of her late husband and the realities of his family’s dark past, all while audiences will be rooting for her future with a man whose willing to do what it takes to help her smooth her broken soul.
