Bitter Thaw. In 1956, deep within the mosaic of rugged forests and interconnected waterways that were once home to the native Ojibwe people, an unidentifiable body is discovered wrapped in a hand-stitched quilt. More than 30 years later, fresh news of the Northern Minnesota cold case reopens old wounds and forces an Arizona family to come to terms with a painful past – when the perils of gender stereotypes, cultural bigotry, and small-town gossip led to tragedy. Now, three generations — a mother, son, and granddaughter — embark on a cross-country journey in a search for truth and a hope of redemption. As long-buried secrets are unearthed, they encounter a shocking reality – everyone’s truth is unique. The revelation forces all to reconsider their life choices, contemplate the ambiguity of right and wrong, and rethink the very notions of good and evil.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JESSICA MCCANN I'm an award-winning historical novelist and creative nonfiction author, and have worked for 30 years as a professional freelance writer for magazines, universities, corporations and other organizations. One of my earliest assignments as a freelancer was covering a new surgical radiation technique for destroying brain tumors, during which I was permitted to don scrubs and observe inside the operating room. Reading and writing historical fiction is my passion, though I'm also drawn to memoirs, contemporary fiction, nonfiction, literary classics -- anything with a compelling story. I love connecting and talking books with other readers and writers on social media and at my official website. Check out this link for ways we can connect!
