Content Warnings & Tropes

In Between the Echoes is the first book in the Maple Hollows series. This book takes place in a fictional small town on the East Coast. While this book has three character points of view, it is not a love triangle, and all characters do end in a happily ever after.

While one character in this novel shows traits that may resemble narcissistic behavior, this is a work of fiction. The outcome in this story does not reflect how most real-life situations involving these traits tend to unfold.
​
These sensitive topics are not to be taken lightly, and it is my hope that I approached them with the care and respect they deserve.​
​
If you or anyone you know is experiencing depression or in a mentally, emotionally, or physically abusive relationship, do not hesitate to seek help. Your mental health matters.
Beneath The Ashes is the second book in the Maple Hollows Series and begins approximately three months before the start of In Between the Echoes. This book takes place in a fictional town on the East Coast.
While you can read Beneath the Ashes as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading In Between the Echoes first, as this book does contain spoilers for book one.

Please note: Trauma and healing journeys look different for everyone. The characters in this book experience, respond to, and heal from trauma in ways that are personal and uniquely their own.
These sensitive topics are not to be taken lightly, and it is my hope that I approached them with the care and respect they deserve.
If you or anyone you know is struggling with mental health or disordered eating, please know that you are not alone, and support is available. Your mental health matters.
