Nature enthusiast seeks to spark spiritual awareness in new book from Palmetto Publishing

Charleston, SC, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A lover of the great outdoors, CJ Kenney returns time and time again to the mountains of the Pacific Northwest to experience the kind of spiritual renewal only found in nature. In awe of her natural surroundings and its effect on her mind, body and soul, she was inspired to pen a novel to reflect her admiration for the beauty and majesty of the wilderness she calls home. Depicting Kenney’s personal journey towards spiritual growth within nature, “Out of the Ashes” tells the story of a woman looking to heal from the wounds of her dysfunctional childhood. 

In “Out of the Ashes” successful executive Clair Donovan returns home to claim her inheritance: the ranch where she grew up.
