Nine-year-old Lily Miller has always felt like she doesn't quite belong. Between struggling at school, feeling invisible at home, and not fitting in with the neighborhood kids, she begins to wonder if she was meant for somewhere else entirely.

When twinkling lights appear in her bedroom one night, Lily follows them into the forest, discovering a magical garden with a mysterious chest beneath an ancient oak tree. Inside the chest, she finds a golden locket that reveals doorways to the deepest parts of herself, and introduces her to Lilian, a wise woman who seems strangely familiar.

As Lily journeys through tunnels of her past, she begins to heal wounds and uncover forgotten truths about herself. But when her secret sanctuary is threatened, Lily must find the courage to trust herself and use her gifts to keep the magic alive. 

A tender, imaginative story about belonging, healing, and discovering the gardens we carry inside us, Lily's Locket reminds readers of all ages that our hearts contain hallways of wonder just waiting to be explored
