WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Winter 2024 – Best Women's Fiction

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.

– US Review of Books

u201cBeautiful! Thatu2019s the first word that popped into my mind as I read the final page of The Restless Lake by Teri Fink. Beautiful. Not just because of its perfectly executed plot, its convincing and captivating characters, or its delightful descriptions of nature hikes, lake kayaking, horse riding, and all those things that make summer camps a joyous getaway. But even more beautiful for the excellence of a skilled author who can bring all that together, combine it with romance and love, and, with non-intrusive backstories, provide insights into the dark and horrible aspects of the permanent physical and mental scarring caused by war. ...Readers come away fully satisfied with a tale well told and wishing they too could escape to Stehekin Wilderness Ranch. Just a beautiful read!u201d

u201cMs. Fink has written a fabulous, emotional tale about a group of people coping with change, each in their own unique ways, as they are faced with old and new challenges during their time on the ranch.

Olivia has trouble trusting even her closest friends, and she lives in fear of being seen in a different light if her secrets come out for all to know...u201cThe 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 canu2019t wait to read more of her work. Iu2019m sure readers will love her ability to move them with her charactersu2019 dilemmas and her fantastic prose.u201d
