1. Stone Yard Devotional
A burned-out woman leaves Sydney to return to the rural community where she grew up and takes refuge in a secluded religious settlement, despite not being a believer. Her attempt at retreat is unsettled by a mounting wilderness problem, the reappearance of questions around her missing sister, and a visitor who forces her to face old wounds. The novel quietly examines grief, forgiveness, and what it means to withdraw from — and be drawn back into — the world.
