Heron River is a deeply moving exploration of human error and redemption,

tragedy and triumph, set in the supposed safety of a small Ontario town.

The novel confronts the necessary possibilities for human forgiveness and

love amidst adversity.

The threads of the characters' lives are intricately interwoven. Madeline

Harbottle, a woman with a gradually debilitating illness, seeks solace from the

pain of the past and the challenges of the present. Her son Adam, damaged from

a tragic childhood accident, finds security in his routine existence, until he falls

prey to a cunning deception. Jacob Cunningham, a gifted thirteen-year-old boy,

harbors a dark secret that he must confront in order to be whole. A young police

officer named Tara Burnaby tries to solve a puzzling string of break-ins following

the murder of an elderly woman, and the previously staid small town reacts

anxiously to the fact of a killer in their midst.

Heron River probes the fierce bonds of family, the tragic consequences of

human failure, and the persistent reverberations of history and memory.
