The Way to Nowhere and The Story of LEONA and Her Double Twins in Alaska

An unforgettable journey of survival and hope that captures the raw beauty of finding a home in the unexpected.

This haunting, heartfelt, and darkly funny novel is an intimate yet expansive tale of resilience, identity, and the messy, powerful bonds of found family. Blending humor and heartache.

The clock is ticking on Leona’s promise of a new life. Will the wilderness break Leona, or be the very thing that saves her?
