Unity House

Unity House

What begins as one man’s attempt to rebuild his life becomes a story of connection, resilience, and the fragile line between hope and heartbreak.

Tanner Dalton has gone from semi-wealthy to counting every dollar, leaving Massachusetts behind to care for his dying mother in California’s East Bay. Struggling to find direction, he crosses paths with three women who will change his life in profound and unexpected ways: Carmen, spirited yet scarred; Tammy, his bold childhood friend; and Sophie, whose wisdom and warmth leave an indelible mark — even after tragedy strikes.

It is with Carmen that Tanner finds himself creating Unity House, a place that promises new beginnings. But the path to redemption is never simple. Secrets emerge, grief reshapes them, and danger threatens to shatter the fragile hope they’ve built.

From the fiery warmth of Es Picante, a restaurant alive with culture and community, to the shocking violence that alters everything, Unity House is a multicultural, emotionally charged novel about finding love, forging second chances, and discovering the strength to begin again — even when the past refuses to let go.
