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.
