The Pattern Shop
a debut literary fiction novel
Eleanorah has never backed down from a challenge—but when she realizes she can’t save her family or her patients, she trades her stethoscope for a mustard-colored backpack and a one-way ticket, only to discover she can’t outrun what she’s trying to escape.
For fans of Barbara Kingsolver, magical realism, and messy characters learning how to choose home over and over again.
Step inside THE PATTERN SHOP and enter a world full of longing and fragile hope—available in ebook, paperback, hardback, bundles, and exclusive signed author copies.

THE PATTERN SHOP is a story for the misfits with stubborn curiosity who ask too many questions, who can’t seem to quell their wanderlust or belief that there’s more to life than this.
Most importantly, it’s for the ones who are brave enough to fly, despite the risk.
Words are pocket lamps we carry with us, when all the light has gone out.
Mariah is a collector and curator of these words, navigating the world by constellations of sentences, stories, and fragile hope.
Whether it’s poetry inspired by the juxtaposition of grief and joy, literary fiction full of messy characters navigating their way home, or personal reflections on motherhood, creativity, and mental health, Mariah invites you to see and be seen.
