Show Notes
Fall fast asleep with this cozy bedtime story for grown-ups. You are listening to “The Candleglow Inn.” In this heartwarming spring sleep story, you return to the Michigan lakeshore during the height of cherry blossom season for a weekend of nostalgic ease. The historic Queen Anne inn is no longer a winter refuge, but a vibrant sanctuary where the air is sweet with the scent of "pink snow" drifting from the heavy, budding trees. You reconnect with the grandmotherly innkeeper, Frances, and meet a spirited six-year-old neighbor named Gabby, who is busy explaining the magic of the garden to a tiny new white kitten.
Together with a pair of travelers from the UK, you find grounding in the dark, moist earth of the rose garden and witness the spectacular sight of cherry blossom petals floating like silk ribbons on the teal waters of Lake Michigan. After a day of small-town charm and a cozy evening of board games by the fire, you retreat to your quarters to the sound of soft spring waves. So find a place to relax and snuggle. It's time to dream away.
