The remote Stehekin Wilderness Ranch, tucked in the heart of the North Cascades, is accessible only by boat or plane. Marketing brochures promise adventures ranging from kayaking or horseback riding to hiking or fishing.

Olivia hires former champion Croatian kayaker Luka Novak to guide, not knowing that Luka carries a heavy burden as a survivor of the Yugoslav War. She begins to have doubts about Luka’s past. What did he do in the war? What happened to his fiancé? What led him to this remote corner of the earth?

Even as Olivia buries secrets of her own, she fears Luka may not be all that he appears.

REVIEWS & ENDORSEMENTS (Click Available Links for Full Versions)

“The author contrasts the magnificence of nature with the cruelty of man, providing a visceral depiction of the atrocities of war and the soul-destroying nature of power-hungry greed. Fink takes the reader on a stirring journey of unimaginable suffering, despair, and loss to demonstrate the resilience of the human spirit, the healing power of love, and the unconquerable strength of hope.” ~ US Review of Books
~~~~~~~~~~
“Beautiful! That’s the first word that popped into my mind as I read the final page of The Restless Lake by Teri Fink. …Readers come away fully satisfied with a tale well told and wishing they too could escape to Stehekin Wilderness Ranch. Just a beautiful read!” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Viga Boland (5 STARS)
~~~~~~~~~~
“With two of the main characters running from their very different pasts, this is a compelling story… The author effectively develops interpersonal tension unfolding against a beautiful remote backdrop that allows the novel’s mysteries to percolate… With the novel’s focus on the Yugoslav War to women in (early) tech, The Restless Lake offers intriguing texture and dimension.” ~ BookLife
~~~~~~~~~~
“The author shines when relating Luka’s story, which unflinchingly highlights the horrors of war. …A tale about finding refuge in nature to make peace with a tumultuous past.” ~ Kirkus Reviews
~~~~~~~~~~
“Ms. Fink has written a fabulous, emotional tale… The Restless Lake is a compelling story that draws readers into the daily lives and worlds of the characters right from the start. Ms. Fink is such a talented storyteller that I can’t wait to read more of her work.” ~ Seattle Book Review, Susan Miller (5 STARS)
~~~~~~~~~~
“Written from alternating POVs, it’s a compelling story; a story of secrets, of loss, and of finding new love… I loved the ending. Simply loved it! It’s so very bittersweet—happy, yes, but with elements of terrible sadness, of a memory slowly being lost in time.” ~ The Wishing Shelf, UK (5 STARS)
