The Faraway Inn: Wo Magie zu Hause ist

by sarah beth durst · 2026

When sixteen‑year‑old Calisa arrives at her great‑aunt’s rural Vermont B&B for a summer of escape, she finds a crumbling inn instead of the cozy haven she imagined. Aunt Zee, eccentric and fiercely protective of the place, reluctantly lets Calisa stay on to help with repairs, and soon the two form an unlikely partnership—bolstered by the handsome groundskeeper’s son. As Calisa sweeps away dust and restores rooms, strange occurrences hint that the inn is more than a simple fixer‑upper. Guests whisper of otherworldly happenings, and hidden doors seem to lead to realms of magic. Determined to protect the place she’s grown to love, Calisa must uncover the inn’s secret before it slips away forever. A heart‑warming blend of grief, family, and whimsical fantasy, this story invites readers to step through a doorway where home and enchantment intertwine.
