  Luka Dekker and her sister Connie are the inheritors of a secretive and disturbing family history going back three generations to the disappearance of their great-grandfather. Their troubled mother, Lark, also mysteriously disappeared; and their beloved grandmother, who raised the two girls, had a life haunted by a traumatic event that is only revealed after her death. The story unfolds against a backdrop of the drug-fueled Downtown Eastside of Vancouver and the horrific pig farm murders, the seductive beauty of rural Saskatchewan, and the glittering lights of a famous prairie dance hall. Luka's quest for her mother, and for peace and love, is a disquieting, moving, and thoroughly engaging examination of intergenerational trauma and forgiveness.

The wettest place on Fluva is Viisiiviisii, an immense jungle thriving with exotic plants and deadly predators. Endless rains have made the jungle a treasure trove of rare and valuable botanicals. A man can get rich there. Or die trying.

  Boone Whettstein is usually the life of the party. He loves to laugh, and though his wife died from a rare blood disease six years ago, he's always had a sunny outlook on life. Until he finds out the second-most important relationship to him isn't as real as he thought. 
  He packs up everything he owns and moves to Ivory Peaks with his twelve-year-old daughter. She's not happy to be leaving her friends, but Boone has other problems. 
  Namely, Cosette Brian, the administrator at the equine therapy unit on the Hammond Family Farm, where Boone now works. 
  Cosette has had a rocky past with men, and she doesn't appreciate Boone putting his hands on her, even if he was trying to keep her from falling. But as they continue to work together, she sees a softer side of the blustery cowboy. A side he usually keeps hidden. A side she really wants to get to know. 
  Can Boone try for a third time to have the loving wife and a mother for his daughter? Or will the past rise up and haunt them both too much to make happily-ever-after impossible?
