Not available for presale. The digital e-book (epub) will be available for Kindle, Kobo, Nook, Apple and Google e-readers on November 1st, 2026.
Nadia Browning doesn't talk about before. Not with her husband or her two young adult children. Not with her in-laws or the handful of colleagues from her flailing illustration career. And certainly not with the people who claim to have raised her. But when St. Joseph’s hospital calls with the news that her stepmother Bonnie has been placed in palliative care and her father is walking the corridors in a dementia-ridden daze, Nadia is thrust into a past she no longer owns. Unexpected grief tangles with long-held resentment, her father’s unreliable memory forcing her to time-travel the decades.
Then Nadia’s daughter Lauren, prone to episodes of withdrawal and rage, vandalizes a sculpture and disappears. Racing against time and the elements of a Canadian prairie winter, Nadia realizes the only way to save Lauren is to confront the truth of her family’s legacy, just as her past collides with her present.
