About Her Heart Knows The Way To Paradise by Michelle Childress
Bailey Watkins never expected a postcard to shatter her life.
Five handwritten words from her husband arrive without warning—Wish you could be here. Days later, the plane carrying him disappears, and Bailey’s carefully built world collapses into grief, silence, and unanswered questions.
When the weight of loss becomes unbearable, Bailey follows an inexplicable pull to a windswept valley in Wyoming and a weathered horse ranch called Paradise. There, among stubborn fences, quiet neighbors, and animals that seem to understand pain better than people, she begins the slow, fragile process of learning how to breathe again.
Paradise Ranch is no easy refuge. Winters are brutal. The town watches closely. And a guarded neighbor with his own scars keeps her at arm’s length—until kindness, shared labor, and unspoken understanding begin to blur the line between survival and hope.
As Bailey reconnects with the land and uncovers truths long buried—about love, resilience, and what it means to start over—she discovers that healing doesn’t come from escaping grief, but from walking straight through it.
Her Heart Knows the Way to Paradise is a tender, emotionally rich romance about loss, second chances, and the quiet courage it takes to choose life—and love—again. Free book promotion February 11-15, 2026.
