House With No Door

The House With No Door is a deeply moving, emotionally charged novel about motherhood, faith, and the healing power of truth. When six women from different cultural and religious backgrounds receive a mysterious letter inviting them to a weekend retreat, none of them are prepared for what they’ll find: not a church, not a therapy session — but a gathering space unlike anything they’ve known.

Each woman is struggling with the same quiet agony: their child has come out as LGBTQ+, and their love has been tested by fear, shame, doctrine, or pride. Inside the house, guided by a wise and ever-shifting elder known only as Ms. M, they’re confronted not with judgment, but with mirrors — of who they were, who they’ve become, and who their children still need them to be.

Through transformative exercises, uncomfortable honesty, and moments that border on the mystical, each mother must confront her deepest fear: that her silence or rejection has cost her a child’s trust… or their life. But before they can leave, they must pass one final test — and not all will walk out the same.
