Jenna Evans Welch

Jenna Evans Welch's novels explore travel, family secrets, friendship, first love, and the way unfamiliar places can change a person's understanding of home. Love & Gelato follows grief and discovery through a journey shaped by a hidden family history. Love & Luck turns a trip into a test of sibling tension and reconciliation, while Love & Olives connects absence and hope to a search across the sea.

Spells for Lost Things brings two lives together through loss, inherited stories, and the promise of finding what has gone missing. Across these books, romance grows alongside a broader process of listening and revision. Maps, letters, keepsakes, and local encounters help characters replace an incomplete account of the past with one they have investigated for themselves.
