On Harbor’s Edge 1914 to 1930s dropped me in the middle of a rapidly unfolding drama at the far end of a Maine island. A historical fiction with harsh, real-world truths facing a fishing village during war and pandemic, this page-turner of a story is one of my favorite reads. That it takes place on Maine’s stunning coastline is a delightful bonus.

Imagine a novel set on a small island in northern Maine in 1918 that speaks directly to our lives in 2025 and the ongoing fight for women’s rights and social justice. On every page of this fiercely original, gorgeously written book is a story of survival. This second volume of On Harbor’s Edge is an ode to hardscrabble life on Maine’s islands and a testament to the bravery, intelligence, and sheer will of the women (and men) who lived there. This beautiful book is for anyone who ever dreamt of living on an island or wondered what it would be like to be an agent of change.
