Description
Hardcover, 208 pages, published 2024. In the small fishing village of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, a shocking crime sets off a chain of events that will change lives forever. Elizabeth Frame's brutal murder of her husband hours after their wedding sends shockwaves through the community, and crime reporter Toby Havenshaw is dispatched to cover the hearing. As he chronicles the twists and turns of Elizabeth's flight from the law, his own life begins to unravel. Toby's marriage to Amelia, a surgeon just returned from the front lines in France and Belgium, becomes increasingly entangled with the events unfolding around him. Meanwhile, a young child born out of wedlock adds another layer of complexity to the already fraught situation. As hope seems lost, Toby must confront his own demons and find a way to recover in a time of great bewilderment and grief. This novel explores the universal human quest for hope in the face of overwhelming adversity, and the devastating consequences that can follow when lives are forever changed by a single act of violence.
