Like Water for Weary Souls (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995083431)

In Nolin Creek, the water runs deep and the secrets run deeper.

​

In the harsh landscape of a Depression-era Northern Ontario mining town, Finnish immigrant sisters Hanna and Essi Kivi scrape together a living as domestic workers, sharing a room in a disreputable boarding house owned by a protective madame.

​

When Hanna's body is discovered in the icy waters of Nolin Creek, the police call it a tragic accident. But Essi knows better. Her sister would never have risked crossing unstable ice-not after they lost their youngest sister Martta to drowning years before.

​

Haunted by guilt and driven by loyalty, Essi begins to unravel the secrets Hanna kept hidden. As Essi digs deeper into her sister's final days, she discovers that in a town built on desperation and dreams for a better future, everyone has something to hide.

​

A gripping tale of love, family, sisterhood, and the search for truth.
