Reclusive biologist Hildy
Nybo returns to her childhood home on Washington’s Elwha River, where she
untangles her mysterious past. Hildy Nybo is a successful biologist, her study
of the Pacific Northwest’s wild fish both a passion and a career. But behind
her professional brilliance, Hildy’s reclusive private life reflects a
childhood fraught with uncertainty. Haunted by the confusion of her early
years, she now records her life in detailed diaries and clings to
memory-prompting keepsakes. Then her mother’s health fails, and Hildy
accepts a job near her childhood home, joining a team of scientists who will
help restore her beloved Elwha River after two century-old dams
fall. There Hildy settles into a cabin on her family’s rustic
resort—a place she both loves and dreads, for reasons she can’t fully
explain.
When a local artist
rents an adjacent cabin for her pottery studio, Hildy resists the intrusion—until
intriguing Luke Rimmer arrives to help with the cabin’s renovation. Now a few
years beyond a tragedy that brought him to his knees, Luke recognizes a kindred
soul in Hildy. As he earns her trust, they uncover her mysterious history, and Hildy
dares to wonder if she can banish her shadows—and follow her river’s course to freedom.
