White Feather Black Creek

A Novel · White Feather Black Creek

Winnie is eleven years old. She paints at night. She wakes her brothers for breakfast. She runs the household the way her mother did, before her mother was killed. She has never had a friend.

Her father has spent the ten years since his wife's death raising their seven children on a farm beyond a bridge that separates his family from the town of Black Creek — and from the men who took his wife from him. He has taught his sons to hunt, to fight, and to wait.

The waiting is nearly over.

White Feather Black Creek follows one family across a single autumn, from an ordinary evening by the fire to the winter solstice night that will change everything. It is a story about love, restraint, and the moment a promise made to a daughter becomes a reckoning with the past.
