The Faraway Inn

The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst
I loved this one in so many ways! It was whimsical, sweet, with found family and a little magic! Sarah Beth Durst did it again! She has become a favorite author of mine!

There is so much packed in this wonderful book! I don’t want to give anything away but the character and world building are phenomenal! This one goes on my favorites list for 2026! 5+/5⭐
