Sappho Farms

By Alex Washoe

Sometimes the life you build isn't the life you need.

MC Molina is a rising star in PR, living in a sleek Seattle townhouse with her brilliant, comic-obsessed wife, Elsa. But when MC’s career crashes and she inherits her grandfather’s crumbling farm, long-buried dreams resurface—she’s ready to trade deadlines for dirt.

Elsa Snow thrives on city energy, caffeine, and creative chaos. Following MC to rural Haney, Washington means risking the biggest opportunity of her career—and confronting the fear that her neurodivergence might be too much for the quiet life, or for MC.

As they battle small-town drama, a scheming land-grabber, and the ghosts of their own expectations, MC and Elsa must decide what they’re really fighting for: the farm, their futures… or each other.

A tender, sharply funny novel about love, reinvention, and the messy magic of starting over.
