The Peace of Roaring River

In the remote wilderness of Carcajou, a young man named Hugo Ennis arrives with nothing but his hands and a dream: to build a log cabin and claim a life his own. Meanwhile, in the cramped shadows of New York City, Madge Nelson recovers from illness and from something harder to name, a past she cannot outrun. When a matrimonial advertisement catches her eye, she makes a choice that will alter everything: she will leave behind the smoke and noise for the rough promise of the northern woods. What follows is a story of two strangers drawn toward each other across impossible distance, set against the raw beauty of untamed landscape where the river roars and everything must be built from nothing. The Peace of Roaring River captures that early 20th century faith that redemption waits just beyond the next ridge, that love can take root in freshly turned earth. It is for readers who crave quiet epiphanies, who find their hearts in log cabins and wide-open spaces.
