The Ponds
The Ponds is a serial novel about loss, return, and an old legend that refuses to let anyone forget.
After her marriage ends and her carefully built life falls apart, Jules reluctantly returns to her small hometown of Lodi with nothing but the contents of her former house and the weight of her disappointment.
Now, sleeping under her father’s roof and wandering the roads of her youth, she comes face to face with the girl she used to be—and the town she tried to forget.
But when a buried legend begins to surface beneath the land she once called home, Jules finds herself caught in something deeper than nostalgia. Something ancient. Something unfinished.
She came to pick up the pieces. What she finds in the ruins could change everything – and cost more than she’s ready to give.
The Ponds is a story of rediscovery, reluctant hope in the face of mystery, and the slow unmaking of the person you thought you had to be in order to become who you really are.
New chapters drop weekly on Substack.
