Here are some of the real-life inspirations for my novel, Family Rules (formerly titled Letting Go of the Sky).

An iridescent, rectangular box made of dark glass fused together with copper seams. A large nautilus shell covers most of the top of the box.
A rocky cliff with pine trees growing along the top of it.
Yellow and gold leaves on the ground.
View of a mountain across a valley of colorful trees in autumn.
A tall cottonwood tree with yellow leaves in a yard surrounded by a wooden fence.
A squirrel sitting on a jump rope in a tree and eating a sunflower.
A glass award plaque with text etched on it saying "This award is proudly presented to Courtney Shosh, winner, Women's Fiction & Romance, Letting Go of the Sky, September 10, 2022."
