This Life Was Too Small for Me
Mara has built a life that is safe, efficient, and almost impossible to disrupt. Then a letter from Madeira tells her that Beatriz, the aunt her family barely mentioned, has died and left her a cliffside house. Mara plans to inspect it, settle the estate, and return to Charleston. Instead, she finds structural problems, a buried family history, and Jake, the architect who has spent years trying to keep the place standing.
As old letters and photographs reveal why her mother once almost left Madeira, Mara has to decide what to save: the house, the life waiting for her back home, or the part of herself she has spent years making smaller. This Life Was Too Small for Me is atmospheric women's fiction about family secrets, inherited fear, adult love, and the moment a carefully managed life stops being enough.
