“A heartfelt debut... Fans of Isabel Allende will savor this lushly textured romance.” – Debra Dean, author of The Madonnas of Leningrad 

Fragile Saints traces Elsa’s journey from a life shadowed by heartbreak in California to the Andes of Peru, where her family’s ancestral hacienda holds secrets that stir both wonder and danger. Haunted by ghosts and the legacy of betrayal, Elsa discovers a world where the past and present intertwine, and love lingers in unexpected places. 

Elsa is intrigued with the country house, its caretakers, and Gustavo, the idealistic local doctor. Elsa begins to awaken to a desire and longing she thought lost. As she uncovers the truth behind her family’s dark history, she learns that forgiveness and the gentle persistence of the heart can transform even the most fragile soul. 

A story of magic, passion, and resilience, Fragile Saints is a sensual, luminous journey and family saga where ancestral unrest and the natural world guide Elsa to embrace a new life and love.
