It was supposed to be the week Janelle returned to marry. Instead, a phone call changes everything: her father, Justice Goodman, has died unexpectedly. The loss cracks open a secret her mother, Olive, can no longer keep—one that will alter the course of Janelle’s future and send ripples through the lives of those she loves.
As secrets surface, tensions rise, and hidden conflicts come to light. Janelle faces difficult choices about love, loyalty, and truth in a place she once considered safe.
With richly drawn characters and prose steeped in atmosphere, Quiet on the Porch invites readers to linger, listen, and discover the wisdom held in quiet spaces.
Family is the story we inherit—and the one we choose to tell.
Janelle Goodman was coming home to marry, but instead she attended a funeral.
Raised on Liberty Lane in Oakwood Township, a small Midwestern town where porches have witnessed generations of joys, losses, and whispered truths, Janelle built a life in Chicago but never truly left the pull of home—or Julien, her childhood sweetheart.
When her father dies suddenly, the shock reverberates through Oakwood Township, a town where the Goodman porch watched over generations of family joys, heartaches, and unspoken truths.
But grief isn’t the only thing waiting for Janelle. Her return sets in motion a chain of revelations that will reopen old wounds and force a reckoning with the legacy she’s inherited. In the place she once felt safest, Janelle must navigate a tangle of love, truth, and legacy—and decide who, to hold on to, and what to let go.
Tender, evocative, and deeply human, Quiet on the Porch is a story about legacy, identity, and the quiet moments that change everything.
