The Thorn and the Rose

This story follows Mackenzie Davenport, a woman who looks like she has it all together — solid marriage, successful daughter, quiet Southern home. But under the calm surface, she’s been carrying a lifetime of unspoken regrets and choices she never dared to make.


Then comes the letter. Tucked away behind an old picture frame, a simple message pulls her straight into the past — into memories she thought were long buried, and a love she never fully let go.


As her past and present start to collide, Mackenzie is faced with a choice: keep living the life she’s built, or finally step into the truth she’s kept locked away for years.


The Thorn and the Rose is one of those books that sticks with you. It’s honest, it’s emotional, and it’s deeply personal. L.J. Henley has written a beautiful story about who we become, who we leave behind, and what it takes to finally come home to ourselves.


The book is available now in paperback, hardcover, and eBook. We hope you’ll pick up a copy — and we’d love to hear what you think when you do.
