The Red Garden Society
A hidden quilt. A forgotten sisterhood. A voice stitched back into history.

London, 1845. Seventeen-year-old Margot Hale has always sensed that her mother's death was more than a fever and a whisper. When she finds a strange quilt folded beneath the floorboards—stitched with herbs, symbols, and names she does not recognize—Margot is drawn into the secrets her mother never spoke of and the legacy she was never meant to inherit.

The quilt is not just a keepsake. It is a ledger. And its threads lead to the Red Garden Society, a clandestine network of midwives, herbalists, and memory-keepers preserving knowledge the Crown and Church have long sought to erase. In the shadows of London's alleys and apothecaries, these women pass on ancestral wisdom hidden in plants, cloth, and quiet rebellion.

As Margot learns to read the language of herbs and hidden stitches, she begins to awaken a power buried not only in her family's past—but in her own voice. But secrets kept too long can turn to poison, and when the Red Garden's silence is threatened by those who would see it burned, Margot must decide whether to stay quiet—or add her name to the ledger.

The Red Garden Society is a richly woven tale of intergenerational memory, feminist resistance, and the sacred bond between women who choose to remember. This is a story about what we inherit, what we bury, and what we dare to pass on.
