The Secret Garden of Yanagi Inn

Pre-order the paperback edition now - releasing 10/24/23

A Modern Gothic Retelling of The Secret Garden.

Still grieving her mother’s death, American photographer Mari Lennox is sent to document Yanagi Inn, an old, dilapidated ryokan outside Kyoto, Japan. By day, Mari explores the inn and its grounds, taking striking photographs and uncovering layers of mystery shrouding the old resort—including an overgrown, secret garden on a forbidden island. At night, eerie weeping (which no one else seems to hear) keeps her awake.

Despite the warnings of the staff, Mari searches for the source of the ghostly sound—and discovers a devastating secret tying her family’s history to the inn, and its mysterious, forlorn garden.

“The gradual but compelling unraveling of this family mystery captivated me.”
— —Naomi Hirahara, Edgar Award-winning author of Hiroshima Boy and Clark and Division
“A lovely re-imagining of a classic tale. Amber Logan transforms the story of The Secret Garden into something new and fresh, yet still utterly timeless.”
— —A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling and The Ghost Sequences
