Somewhere to Set the Weight Down: Eli's Hive (Part 1)

By Maggie Lane

Somewhere to Set the Weight Down: Eli's Hive (Part One)

Everyone in town knows Eli Harper is the man who shows up.

He fixes what is broken, carries what is heavy, and keeps moving long after he should have stopped.

But when his family insists he take Wednesdays off, the silence begins to uncover the things work has helped him avoid.

In a world of porches, coffee, family, friendship, and hard-won honesty, Eli begins the slow, brave work of telling the truth, receiving help, and learning that being needed is not the same as being loved.

Along the way, the men around him begin setting down burdens of their own: grief, anger, pride, fear, regret, and the quiet weight of all the things men are taught not to say.

Somewhere to Set the Weight Down: Eli's Hive is a heartfelt Roots & Wings novel about ordinary people, second chances, community, and the courage it takes to stop carrying everything alone.
