Water Finds a Way by Meghan Perry

There’s something about a Maine story told by someone who knows these waters. And this one settles into you like fog rolling over the cove.

Can coming home bring redemption? Or at least a measure of peace? Recently released from prison, Blake Alvares returns to the only place she ever felt safe—a now-derelict Maine town where she once harbored as a teen. Determined to bury her secrets and losses, she soon finds herself pulled into other people’s lives when she takes a job on a boat owned by a notorious young lobsterman.

Leland Savard is nearly broke, trying to raise nine-year-old Quinnie while wrestling with a dangerous family legacy. His choice to hire Blake raises eyebrows around town. But before long, the people closest to Blake are surprised—jarred, even—by how much they’ve come to rely on her. And Blake? She stumbles into love from the most unexpected places.

Then Leland’s rash actions put Blake and Quinnie in real danger, and she feels forced to run again. Only to discover that the past is never more than a few steps behind. On her quest for home, Blake must face a daunting question: where does she truly belong?

This is a novel for readers who love the believable eccentricity of small-town life. For anyone who believes in the quiet redemption of hard work and the pull of the sea.
