Unspooling Honey

Two wounded hearts, scarred by loss and past pain, find unexpected hope and the chance to love again in a quiet East Tennessee town.

A poignant love story about two people who think their wounds are too deep to heal, until a random act of kindness changes their lives forever.

Nick Sullivan used to believe in happily ever after, but that was before he lost his wife and daughter in a car accident five years ago. Now, the thirty-eight-year-old widower lives a quiet life in the safety of the East Tennessee mountains, where he spends his days harvesting honey and nights battling the ghosts of his past.

Across town, Dr. Eve Gentry unpacks her office at Lincoln Memorial University, where she has just started as a professor of English. After a recent divorce, Eve is eager for a fresh start and the opportunity to prove that she can make it on her own.

Looking to put down roots, Eve searches for a place she can call home. Then, one day, a mysterious flyer lands in her faculty mailbox, leading her to a property that appears too good to be true. Little does Eve know that what awaits her is more than just a new start.

By a twist of fate, Nick and Eve become neighbors. The seasons change, and with them, something shifts between the two. Nick, once withdrawn and hardened by the cruelty of fate, starts to soften under Eve’s gentle persistence. Meanwhile, the woman who once vowed never to depend on anyone again, finds herself gradually letting down her guard.

Their wounds run deep, but can they find something beautiful amidst their shared sorrow, building a bridge between their hearts along the way?
