In 1932, Claire Burke returns to the rugged shores of St. Jacques, Newfoundland, to bury her father – and to confront the bitterness, betrayal, and religious divides that once tore her world apart. What she discovers through her mother’s guarded stories forces her to unravel the truth behind a long-buried family rift, one that began when a Protestant Claire dared to love a Roman Catholic boy.

As a teenager during the First World War, Claire’s life was shaped by two young men: Ted Burke, the boy she couldn’t forget, and Sam Farewell, the loyal friend whose letters and wartime photographs carried the weight of unspoken devotion. While the world fractured abroad, St. Jacques simmered with its own tensions, leaving Claire caught between duty, desire, and the shadowy intrigues that swirled behind small-town doors. When crisis struck, Claire and Ted fled to America in a desperate elopement that bound their fates together – yet changed them forever.

Spanning continents and generations, this sweeping historical mystery uncovers the secrets we inherit, the loves we risk everything for, and the powerful currents of history that carry us farther than we ever expect.

Turning pages since 1994

Flanker Press is a bright spark in the Newfoundland and Labrador publishing scene. As the province’s most active publisher of trade books, the company now averages twenty new titles per year, with a heavy emphasis on regional non-fiction and historical fiction.

The mission of Flanker Press is to provide a quality publishing service to the local and regional writing community and to actively promote its authors and their books in Canada and abroad.

Now located in Paradise, Flanker Press has grown from a part-time venture in 1994 to a business with eight full-time employees. In the fall of 2004, Flanker Press launched a new imprint, Pennywell Books. This imprint includes literary fiction, short stories, young adult fiction, and children’s books.
