Where Time Breaks

Deer Lawn

Book One of the Where Time Breaks Series

By Carol Lynn Napora

A clang at the gate. A girl with familiar eyes. A house that doesn't exist—anymore.

When Callie Lynn Moore returns to Port Huron, Michigan, all she wants is stillness and a place to start over. But a Sunday morning walk past the ruins of an old estate—once known as Deer Lawn—changes everything. She hears a sound no one else hears. Sees a girl no one else sees. And finds herself pulled toward a mystery buried beneath a century of silence.

As Callie follows clues left behind in newspaper clippings, forgotten photographs, and a Blue Book that refuses to open, she uncovers more than a hunting—she uncovers a history. A hidden girl. A secret window. And a grief passed down like a whisper through blood.

Part spiritual mystery, part ancestral calling, Deer Lawn is the first in a five-book series that blends gothic atmosphere with heartfelt reflection, weaving together Indigenous memory, sacred places, and women who remember what the world tried to forget.

If you love stories filled with hidden rooms, rose windows, braided timelines, ghostly echoes, and the quiet power of reclaiming your roots—welcome to Deer Lawn.
