Waterfall
by Mary Casanova
In her third Rainy Lake historical novel, Mary Casanova takes us back to northern Minnesota. It's 1922, women have made strides on voting rights, and Trinity Baird is of age. But after nearly two years at Oak Hills Asylum, she returns to her family's island summer home with her self-confidence in tatters and her mind seard by haunting memories. While her love for this beautiful place is deep and abiding, the few months ahead present a near-impossible task: recover the strong sense of self she's nearly lost during her time away, while holding off her powerful family's efforts to coerce her into submission. Informed by historical figures, the burgeoning growth of women's rights in the early twentieth century, and the complicated issue of mental illness and how "difficult" women were silenced, Waterfall offers a compelling story of a young woman's fight to find her way.
