Overview

Jenna’s been to the edge: injury, depression, job loss, and the crushing weight of not knowing who she is without a title on her name tag. Shannon’s come back from the dead—almost literally—after a devastating accident and years of emotional distance from her past. Their love has survived addiction, secrets, ghosts of exes, and the kind of everyday grief that doesn’t come with a funeral.

But survival is one thing. Choosing to build something lasting? That’s another.

As old flames return and legal tangles from Shannon’s past threaten their future, the couple must navigate guilt, jealousy, and the quiet terror of being truly seen. Through hospital visits, AA meetings, bruised shoulders, and house tours that feel too permanent, Shannon and Jenna discover what it means to belong—not just to each other, but to themselves.

In a world where so many queer women are told they’re too late for love, Porch-light Promises is a love story for those who’ve already lived hard, lost big, and still believe in a future lit by kindness, honesty, and the courage to stay.
