About the Book
Title: Escape to Passignano Series: Carolina Coast Stories Author: Normandie Fischer Publisher: Sleepy Creek Press Release Date: March 31, 2026 Genre: Christian Women’s Fiction
Can dreams be trusted when life feels like a nightmare? Sophia chose to honor her deceased husband’s wishes by visiting his hometown of Passignano sul Trasimeno in the Umbrian region of Italy. She’s trying to find the peace he promised, really she is, while she studies his language and sips caffè with a view of mountains and lake. Only, things begin to happen involving a red-haired child who speaks of things she cannot know—and the child’s father whose very presence challenges that peace. Dr. Luca Moretti still wrestles with guilt three years after the death of his wife and older children. Overwhelmed by grief, Luca gave the care of his toddler daughter, Noemi, to his sister. It was supposed to be temporary; it wasn’t. Now, Luca wants Noemi back. When his sister flees, taking Noemi into hiding, Sophia joins forces with a desperate Luca to piece together dreams and voices and supernatural nudges to retrace Noemi’s steps. It’s going to take trust, though, something in short supply for both Luca and Sophia. They’ll have to learn to trust in one another, and, more importantly, to trust in God—that a God who would allow such pain really does mean to work it all out for good. For Noemi. For the two of them. And for a troubled woman from North Carolina who enters their orbit with her own demons, demons God uses—and dispels—as He wills. PURCHASE LINKS:Goodreads | Amazon | BookBub

EXCERPT
She slept hard and woke suddenly, the dream so real she was back in the moment, back when her boy had failed to return home, back when they’d brought his dead body out of the woods, back when her life had fallen into the deep, dark pit out of which she’d never been able to climb.
The voice hissed. “You’re worthless. A murderer.”
“No.” She curled and pulled a pillow over her head. “No, it was an accident!”
“Your fault he was out there alone, all your fault. And now… now you’re an adulteress.”
“Only once…” Please, please…
The voice—whoever—spoke words that were actually true about Olli. True, undeniable, horrid. She shuddered and freed her head to catch a deeper breath before admitting that, yes, that day, the day she’d lost her boy, she’d been at the club, chatting, watching people at the bar as they dried off after the rain had caught them in the middle of their golf game.
At the club, distracted, thinking about golf, while her boy… She’d been smirking to herself, feeling superior to the fools who loved golf so much they’d go out in whatever weather, oblivious to hovering clouds, maybe imagining the cloud cover a good thing. She’d gotten caught up and time had passed. She’d forgotten her promise to pick up the kids if rain threatened. And Oliver hadn’t waited but had taken his bike along the hill path through the woods… because she hadn’t been there. She hadn’t kept her promise.
“Murderer.”
About the Author
Normandie Fischer had the best of several worlds: a Southern heritage, access to schooling in the DC area (which meant lots of cultural adventures), and several years of sculpture studies in Italy. It might have been better for her if she’d used all these opportunities more wisely, but it’s possible that the imperfect and the unwise also add fodder for the artist and the writer. She writes Christian and Southern fiction as well as romantic suspense from her waterfront base in coastal North Carolina, where she lives with her husband, their two dogs, and a once-feral cat. If only her children and grandchildren lived within hailing distance, life would be just about perfect.
