As Egypt Fisher learns, there's a power to be mined in keeping secrets, and lies quickly take on a life of their own.
1930. The boathouse community of Cootes Paradise is under siege. The squatters' colony of shacks that lines the shores of Dundas marsh stands in the way of a Hamilton politician's City Beautiful plans. When a handsome drifter settles there, Egypt Fisher and her mother both fall under his spell. No one expects Egypt's gambling con-man father to return after a mysterious six-year absence. But he does and he's furious. Unhinged by jealousy and a harrowing brush with the local mafia at a cockfight, he reveals a family secret that sets Egypt's world off-kilter and poisons her relationship with her mother. When Egypt tries to turn the situation to her own advantage, her lies set in motion a series of events with devastating consequences.
The Fishers of Paradise
is a story about choices and consequences, and a family pushed to the
edge. In striving to cope with the emotional fallout from decisions made
in the past, as well as all that fate and circumstance level at them,
the Fishers discover that hope and love can thrive and families can
reinvent themselves.
