One Spring at Ril Lake
Helen Claybourne wants one thing: peace. Gifted a two-week stay at a luxury cottage on Ril Lake, she heads north through the Muskoka Region dreaming of rest, quiet, and long-overdue time to herself after a lifetime spent caring for everyone else. But the solitude she craves is about to collide with the one fear she's never faced.
Tessa Field is also desperate for escape. Living with her sister Pat has become impossible - age, distance, and old wounds have changed them both. When Pat wins a two-week holiday she can't use, Tessa takes the cottage instead, hoping the lake will offer clarity she can't find at home.
Michelle Hillborough, newly divorced and an empty-nester, arrives at Ril Lake searching for the missing piece of her life. A letter written by her mother years ago has sent her on a journey into her past - and toward someone she believes holds the answers she's been seeking.
Cate Hornsby is finally living again. Her children are grown, her ex-husband is out of her life, and the world feels wide open. But her mother is keeping secrets Cate can no longer ignore - secrets that raise questions Cate never knew she had until now.
When a double-booking at Serenity Lodge - and a mysteriously absent owner - forces Helen and Tessa to share a cottage, the spring storm they've just driven through is only the beginning. As the women settle in, their lives begin to intersect with Michelle's and Cate's in unexpected ways, and Ril Lake becomes anything but serene.
Set in the beautiful Muskoka Region of Central Ontario, One Spring at Ril Lake is a story of renewal, revelation, and the powerful truths that surface when women finally take time for themselves.
