Eleanorah never belonged in the bleak Midwestern town her family believes is the only safe place to be while they wait for the end times. With her fiery red hair and tendency to ask too many questions, she thought nursing school would be the escape she longed for. But when her childhood home burns down and her parents announce their divorce just before graduation, both her past and carefully calculated future go up in flames.
Exhausted by her failure to save her family or her patients, Eleanorah packs a mustard-colored backpack and buys a one-way ticket, searching for a new definition of home. With the butterfly necklace her grandfather gave her pressed tightly against her chest, Eleanorah wrestles with the limits of her love and the weight of her choices. From Ecuador to France to the one place she swore she'd never return, Eleanorah must confront the lost parts of herself-and discover what she's running toward, or risk repeating the same patterns she's desperate to change.
The Pattern Shop is a novel about the hopes and fears we inherit and the courage it takes to choose home, again and again.

Mariah Friend is a former ICU nurse turned author. Like Eleanorah, she spent her twenties traveling across continents, searching for home in unexpected places. Her work explores the twin vocabularies of medicine and healing and the paradox of grieving while celebrating new life. Her poetry has appeared in The Walnut Branch, Poetry South, and Entwined: Motherhood and Creativity. She writes Heartbeats, a newsletter for creative caregivers, and currently lives among the Chattanooga hills with her husband and toddler.
