Under the Okanagan Sun

By Constance Santego

Under the Okanagan Sun

Where the past whispers, the present heals, and the future shines.

When photographer Emily Carter returns to the Okanagan Valley after losing everything she built in Calgary, she's looking for solitude and a fresh start. Nestled in a rustic lakeside cabin near Fintry, she finds more than just quiet-she discovers the heart of a land rich with stories, and a man whose soul seems carved from the very landscape itself.

Liam Fraser, a boatbuilder restoring a historic sailboat, lives a life anchored in tradition and craftsmanship. When Emily is hired by a nearby winery to capture the harvest, their paths cross in unexpected ways. But the deeper she immerses herself in the rhythms of the valley, the more Emily uncovers-old letters hidden in her cabin, a forgotten Syilx canoe buried near the shore, and a love story from long ago that mirrors her own.

As community tensions rise over the lake's future and secrets from the past surface, Emily and Liam must decide what they're willing to fight for. Together, they navigate the delicate balance between preservation and progress, history and hope, independence and love.

Set against the breathtaking beauty of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, Under the Okanagan Sun is a moving tale of legacy, connection, and the healing power of place.
