The Anchor House

Winner of the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Inspirational Fiction
For Winnie Spade, leaving her old life behind is the only thing that makes sense. Left uprooted after a broken engagement and with no family to call on, she hitchhikes across to country and lands in the small Minnesotan town of Manitou Lake. Winnie is taken in by Eleanor Reader, the caring owner of an island on which she lives and runs her unconventional church. Winnie is allowed to heal from her scarred past, but when Eleanor’s ownership of the island is challenged, Winnie must break down the walls she’s built in order to protect the home that has taken her in.
A story of love and loss, religion and science, philosophy and dogma, and addiction and freedom, The Anchor House is a look at healing and happiness in an imperfect life and how we love those who save us.
