2023 Selah Award Finalist
Kelsey dreams of a life filled with creativity.
She's about to stumble into far more than she imagined...
Kelsey Willoughby doesn’t have time to pursue her dream of writing a novel. Imagination doesn’t pay the bills, and she’s busy saving her beautiful bookshop from online competition, hotel developers, and the sneaking suspicion that nobody reads anymore.
Not to mention all those voices telling her she doesn’t have talent.
But then the vacant lot of weeds next door starts to shimmer.
When Kelsey stumbles into a luminous nighttime garden party, larger than the vacant lot that holds it and filled with enigmatic guests, she suspects they hold the key to saving the bookshop, and perhaps even to her own mysterious origins.
But answers aren’t forthcoming, not until Kelsey is willing to confront her past, step into her potential, and push deeper into the unknown edges of the garden, where an unexpected journey takes her into a world of dangerous revelation.

Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.

Story
Welcome to Newford: to the music clubs, the waterfront, and the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the gray harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and the wild and the poor and the lost.

At the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society.

Both paths promise a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class. Daniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her pedigree is a lie. She must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society. And school couldn’t prepare her for the difficult choices she must make after graduation.

The year is 2004: Lina Sparrow is an ambitious young lawyer working on a historic class-action lawsuit seeking reparations for the descendants of American slaves. The year is 1852: Josephine is a 17-year-old house slave who tends to the mistress of a Virginia tobacco farm - an aspiring artist named Lu Anne Bell. It is through her father, renowned artist Oscar Sparrow, that Lina discovers a controversy rocking the art world: Art historians now suspect that the revered paintings of Lu Anne Bell, an antebellum artist known for her humanizing portraits of the slaves who worked her Virginia tobacco farm, were actually the work of her house slave, Josephine.

Having grown up on the run with her con artist mother, she’s been shuffled from town to town, drawn into bad situations, and has learned some unsavory habits that she’s tried hard to overcome. When her estranged grandmother tracks her down out of the blue and extends a job offer—helping to run her booth at an open-air marketplace in small-town Sweetgrass, Alabama—Emme is hopeful that she’ll finally be able to plant the roots she’s always dreamed of.

The marriage between reality and fantasy
I enjoyed the way this story linked the Kelsey’s problems with keeping the bookstore afloat, the mystery of who her mother might be and the party in the garden all very believable. As it unfolds the mystery deepens as she learns more about the people who attend the parties and allowed her she thinks to learn more about herself. Although I did feel at times that the story was dragged out a bit more than was needed, by the time it reached its very satisfactory end I knew every part of the story was necessary. I suspect Tracy put quite a few of her own fears about what it takes to make a “real” writer into Kelsey’s questions about her own abilities as a writer.

Underwhelming predictable.
It was a listening that I had to work to make to the end. The narrator did fine job reading. Overall it was scattered. What was the purpose of going deeper and experiencing the moment in Egypt it felt just thrown. The end where it all worked out while nice uplifting was akin to the authors reference to you got mail. She meets the hotel in the middle and everyone wins. Her sculpture boyfriend was shallow not enough of his story. But on the plus side the author encapsulated everything thought about my own writing. I admire the sheer dedication to put this book out come what may. I was inspired to put some of my own ideas to paper or computer. I can give her that.

Don’t love the narration
Despite technical issues, the writing is lovely, but perhaps
the author should’ve chosen another to narrate. There’s some thing missing in the telling of the story.

Seamless World Weaving Blurs Reality & Comments on Creativity and Life
Higley weaves worlds seamlessly, building suspense as she blurs the lines of reality and intermingles philosophy on creativity and life. I thoroughly enjoyed this encouraging tale and its satisfying resolution. I also experienced audio glitches with the ends of the first two chapters cutting off. After I contacted customer service, I believe they resolved the issue because that did not continue in later chapters as I finished listening to the book.

Inspiring for Creatives
I thought Nightfall was beautifully written and a story inspiring for those us that are creators that will likely never sell their work. My only criticism is that the author’s reading was almost breathless and I had to slow the audio down- honestly I’m not sure I would have continued beyond the first chapter if I hadn’t also downloaded the book on kindle! I’m so glad I carried on - I’m still thinking of that magical garden! 💕

All Creatives Must Read This!
I have nothing but praise for this book. It’s more than a book. It’s an anthem designed to inspire writers, poets, artists, musicians, etc. Higley has helped me to see that we all must go deeper, and what we produce must be seen as gifts! When I finished the last page, I closed the book and saw myself for what I truly am - a storyteller. Thank you Tracy Higley, for your gift to us!
