The Books that Started It All
As the Earth begins to heal, the world Jessie once dreamed possible is becoming something even more extraordinary. Beneath returning stars, landscapes are coming alive again. Humanity is beginning to discover what becomes possible when we stop fighting the natural world and remember how to belong within it. But even Jessie could never have imagined where the journey to Caprice would ultimately lead.
As the world she once knew begins to unravel, Jessie realizes that Caprice was never simply a place she was meant to find. What she discovered there was only the beginning. Now something extraordinary is awakening, carrying Jessie and those around her beyond the world they have always known and toward a future that once seemed impossible.
A deeper exploration of restoration, connection, and what comes next as the Earth begins to heal. In the final novel, natural darkness and starlight return after generations of light pollution, allowing people, wildlife, oceans, and living ecosystems to move once again in harmony with the rhythms of the night.
A practical, inspiring guide to growing food, restoring soil, conserving water, supporting wildlife, and creating a garden that works in harmony with nature and the gardener tending it.
When you reach the end of the novels and want to find Caprice, this is the guide that will walk you through creating your own piece of it right where you are.
Our song says, “There is a door hidden from the noise … that leads to … a World we were born to find.”
This is that doorway !

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book.
Did you ever wish you could go somewhere that is very peaceful and relaxing. When you read this book, that is exactly what you will do. As you are reading you feel like you are in Caprice and away from all the problems in the world. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I felt as though I was on this journey myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Journey!
This is an easy to read, easy to understand, can't put it down book! I know many people who can relate to the character Jesse. It's not a religious book by any means but helps to answer questions someone looking for a brighter future may have.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is bit of Jessie in all of us.
I think many people will relate to the main character; Jessie. She is disillusioned by our world, its inhabitants and its problems, even God as she knows Him. Jessie says and asks aloud things that countess people can’t or won’t for fear of ridicule or alienation. These incidents have prepared Jessie for this journey. In a one to one relationship with God, she becomes aware of His original and ongoing plans. Caprice itself is an example of how to restore harmony and beauty to her world. Jessie has found her calling.
In my takeaway, I believe Jessie is not alone in her calling.Cheryl Raber

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye opening!
Jessie is each of us in some way at some time….as she steps through choices & listens to her spirit she gains what we all would love - peace & a closer walk w God.
Even if our experiences are different, choosing joy despite circumstances can belong to all by looking outside our selves.
Jessie shares how this process began in an unhappy situation yet changed as she reached a new level by her own choices despite the negativity surrounding her.
Awesome author & read!Virginia C. Linch

This is a wonderful story about a young lady learning about God and having a personal relationship with Him. It is a wonderful example of how God intended our lives to be. I highly recommend this book for anyone, but especially for anyone who is wanting to have a relationship with God and isn't sure how to do it.

Jessie is inside all of us. Never certain what to say always wondering what people think of her. For someone like myself that struggles with their faith this is a great read.
