Preface
Some stories don’t begin with love.
They begin with loss… with silence… with the kind of emptiness that makes you question everything you thought you knew.
Where the Wild Sage Grows was born from that quiet place—the space between endings and beginnings, where something inside you shifts before you even understand why.
This is a story about returning—
to land,
to memory,
to the parts of ourselves we tried to outgrow.
It’s about grief that lingers, love that surprises, and the kind of connection that doesn’t ask for permission before it takes root.
Set against the wide skies and open land of Montana, this story carries the scent of dust, sage, and second chances. It is both tender and raw—like the people who live close to the earth and carry more than they say.
Lila didn’t come back looking for love.
Cole didn’t expect to find it again.
But sometimes, the things we resist the most are the ones that heal us.
This story is for anyone who has ever had to start over—
and for those still learning how.
