About the book

Eleanorah has never backed down from a challenge—but when she realizes she can't save her family or her patients, she trades her stethoscope for a mustard-colored backpack and a one-way ticket, only to discover she can't outrun what she's trying to escape.

From Ecuador to France to the one place she swore she'd never return, Eleanorah must confront the lost parts of herself—and discover what she's running toward, or risk repeating the same patterns she's desperate to change.

The Pattern Shop is a novel about the hopes and fears we inherit and the courage it takes to choose home, again and again.

For fans of Barbara Kingsolver, magical realism, and messy characters learning how to belong.
