Count the Petals of the Moon Daisy

Set against the whispering wetlands of England and the echoing chambers of memory, Count the Petals of the Moon Daisy is a deeply moving literary novel about love, grief, identity, and the quiet forces that shape a life.

When Jessica Healey, a gifted but broken violinist, is pulled back into a past she has spent years trying to escape, she is forced to confront the losses that fractured her world, and the people who still believe in her capacity to heal. As past and present intertwine, the story unfolds through music, nature, and human connection, revealing how memory can both wound and redeem.

Lyrical, intimate, and emotionally rich, this novel explores themes of mental health, artistic obsession, chosen family, and the restorative power of place. Like the petals of the moon daisy, truth is uncovered one layer at a time, until what remains is the heart itself.

Count the Petals of the Moon Daisy will resonate with readers who cherish beautifully written literary fiction, complex characters, and stories that linger long after the final page.
