  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.

  She risked everything to heal the wounded. Now she must fight to rebuild her own life. 
   
  Shamrock Ridge, Colorado Territory, 1868. 
   
  Sarah Dunne arrives with little more than a worn carpetbag, a horse, and a past she cannot speak of. Trained as a doctor during the war, she treated the wounded until she was captured and held as a prisoner. Now barred from practicing medicine, she takes work as a nurse, knowing her skills far exceed the title she's been forced to accept. 
   
  The town is still recovering from the war, and Sarah is determined to stay quiet, keep her head down, and help where she can. But soon she is pulled into the lives of the people around her—a child in need of urgent care, and a local doctor who sees her as a threat. 
   
  As buried secrets begin to surface, Sarah must choose between silence and truth, safety and courage. Can she reclaim the life she once fought for, or will the past destroy her second chance? 
   
  Perfect for fans of clean historical romance and strong heroines, Sarah's story is a powerful tale of resilience, healing, and the hope found in unexpected places.
