Safe Haven

"An enchanting tale...a hopeful novel rich in detail and symbolism. Readers will relish this satisfying story." - Publishers Weekly

In a world where hope is scarce, can a young girl's extraordinary gift bring salvation before it threatens her very existence?

On the eve of his 40th birthday, Michael Russo faces a devastating trifecta: the loss of his job, a crisis of self-doubt, and a broken engagement with the love of his life, Anna. On impulse, he buys a run-down forty-acre farm unaware the dilapidated barn, home to a one-legged turkey and a blind rooster, harbors mystery.

It isn't long before Michael's life is once again turned upside down and he finds himself raising his daughter, Brie, alongside Anna's overbearing parents. While they fight about what's best for Brie, she develops an enigmatic attachment to the barn's residents. A bond that cannot be broken.

As Brie struggles with one mysterious illness after another, Michael discovers she was born with a unique gift. One that has the power to change the world, but also the potential to endanger her life.

In a race against time, Michael must face his greatest fear to safeguard his daughter, whose innocence and extraordinary talent have forever altered his life.

Elizabeth Stiles' debut novel, Save Haven: Where Hope Lives, intricately weaves together themes of loss, resilience, and the unexplainable, culminating in a poignant exploration of the power of love, healing, and the interconnectedness of all beings.
