Sometimes what you've been running from is exactly what will set you free.

In the close-knit community of Lazy Rivers, where everyone knows your name but not necessarily your secrets, three generations of Rivers women share an extraordinary gift—the ability to see others' memories.

It's a gift that has kept them isolated for generations, afraid of what might be revealed in a single, unwanted memory.

When a winter storm traps the town, a mysterious young man arrives with a message from his comatose grandmother, forcing Lizzy Rivers to confront the truth she has avoided her entire life. Four sealed lockets. Four intertwined families. And one revelation that will change everything.

In The Awakening, long-buried secrets emerge like spring flowers after the thaw. As memories pull the entire town into a shadowed past, Lizzy, her daughter Serenity, and granddaughter Sam must each decide how much of themselves they're willing to risk for love and redemption.

In this luminous tale where the boundaries between past and present blur, the Rivers women discover that some secrets protect while others destroy, and that awakening to the truth might be the only way to break the patterns that have defined them for generations.

Brimming with evocative atmosphere, unexpected family connections, and a touch of otherworldly magic, this captivating small-town mystery will ensnare listeners who believe the strongest ties can span both time and the secret language of the heart.

The Awakening is the second book in Beca Lewis's enchanting Rivers of Time series, where magical realism meets small-town mystery in a story of women finding their power in the flow of uncovered truths.
