Becky Doughty

On a blustery January breeze, a new girl sweeps into the neighborhood, breathing life - and a bit of magic - into the cottage she christens Elderberry Croft.

The folks at The Coach House Trailer Park can't help but fall under Willow Goodhope's spell. She charms them all with her whimsical nature and outrageous laugh. But there's something about her, a secret sadness that hovers at the corners of her irrepressible smile. And it has everyone talking.

Doc catches her burning letters out under the moonlight. Joe glimpses the whispering shadows clinging to the girl's coattails. Eddie and Donny compete to see who can make her smile first, and Patti can't ignore that her husband is sitting up straighter and taking notice of the young beauty. Kathy is doing everyone in the park a favor by keeping a close eye on the wild woman next door.

Through her binoculars.

And what she sees doesn't sit well with any of them.

"I meant to savor Elderberry Croft - I really did - but I couldn't help myself and gobbled it up in one sitting. Brimming with beautifully flawed characters who will make you sigh, smile, laugh, cry, and hurt over their very real struggles, Becky Doughty's Elderberry Croft is a must read." ~ Tamara Leigh, USA Today Bestselling Author

Elderberry Croft: Seasons of the Heart

Elderberry Croft: Seasons of the Heart: The Complete Collection

It's June in Southern California and spring is stretching languidly into the long, sultry days of summer.

Myra spends her days - and nights - caring for all the needy folks she's taken under her wings, the oddballs and misfits who call The Coach House Trailer Park home. She does their laundry, feeds their pets, waters their plants, and fetches their mail, even when they don't necessarily need her to do so. It's what she does best, though. Myra Espinosa needs to be needed.

But a fateful encounter with one particularly unsuspecting neighbor ends with Myra flat on her back... and she's about to discover that being needed is not the same thing as being loved.

Elderberry Croft: June Melody: When the Heart Sings

Donny Banks is single – again - and ready to move on. He’s also moved in with his mother again, and he’s the only one in The Coach House Trailer Park who doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.

Mainly because he’s got his eyes on the newest park resident, the lovely Ms. Willow Goodhope. Those red curls and that husky voice make the tips of his fingers tingle; even her name stirs him up. That laugh, though… He’d just have to learn to live with it.

Or maybe she could learn to close her mouth when that sound threatened to let loose.

The Independence Day potluck Willow is holding seems the perfect opportunity to make his intentions clear, and he knows just the treat to bring to make a girl smile.

Elderberry Croft: July Madness: My Brother's Keeper

Al Tanner always knew this day would come, and that his life would, once again, be irrevocably changed. He thought he was ready for it.

But laying down the heavy burden he’s been carrying for so long is a lot simpler in theory than in practice. And when Willow Goodhope presents him with another option – one that could take him in a completely different direction – he finds himself jumping at the opportunity.

Even if it means telling the world – finally – just what kind of man he really is.

Elderberry Croft: August Memories: The Way She Smiles

Prudence Merriweather loves animal prints, hot pink high heels, and bigger-than-life hair. She also loves Carney, the bear of man to whom her heart belongs. 

She’s just not a hundred percent sure that he knows it. Or that he really wants it, at least if they’re talking forever and ever. They’ve been together for so long now, however, and Pru is no longer clear on the status of their status quo.

When Carney shows up with his own matters of the heart, Prudence is stunned by the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. Can she open her eyes enough to look around and see the beauty that is part of everything, even an uncertain future?

Elderberry Croft: September Longing: A Daisy Chain of Clouds

Together, Andrea and George have worked hard to eke out a happy life for themselves. And now, with a baby on the way, their small world has grown exponentially. They both have so much love to give their child, and every day that passes brings them closer to the moment they will hold him or her in their arms.

When Andrea’s past raises its ugly head, and George is at a loss as to how to draw her back to the light of their future, Willow Goodhope steps into the eye of the storm.

In doing so, however, Ms. Goodhope must share a truth about herself that may be more than any of them can endure.

Elderberry Croft: October Mourning: The Darkest Nights

Doc has learned to live with his past showing up in his present in the gruesome form of post-traumatic stress. Waking nightmares, trigger hallucinations, insomnia, and self-loathing are his constant companions. Coming home from war wasn’t coming home at all—he hasn’t been able to leave the battlefield behind.

So it isn’t hard for him to recognize the raw edges of the wounds Ms. Goodhope bears, and Doc isn’t about to stand by and let another fellow soldier fall.

When he finds her burning letters out under a moonless sky, and the firelight brings to life the jagged shadows they both are trying to hold at bay, they trade war stories… and a promise to not give into the dark night of the soul.

Elderberry Croft: November Awakening: Braving the Trenches

Willow Goodhope has faced the shadows that chased her into hiding almost a year ago. There’s a long road toward healing ahead of her, though, and she’s embracing the need to take it slow.

Part of her journey has been walking alongside the other wounded warriors who reside at The Coach House Trailer Park, and now she’s reluctant to abandon them.

A neighborhood Christmas party at Elderberry Croft – No gifts, just bring yourselves! -seems just the thing, and Willow throws open her little cottage with its river rock patio and fairy lights once more.
