A novel of orphans and widows, terror and hope, and the relationships that hold us together when things fall apart.
With murder dominating the news, the respected wife of a New Brunswick sea captain is drawn into the case of a British home child whose bad luck has turned worse. Mortified that she must purchase the girl in a pauper auction to save her from the lechery of wealthy townsmen, Josephine Galloway finds herself suddenly the proprietor of a boarding house kept afloat by the sweat and tears of a curious and not completely compatible collection of women, including this English teenager, Flora Salford. Flora's place in her new "family" cannot be complete until she rescues the missing person in her life, the only one who understands the trials she has come through and fresh horrors met since they were separated years before.
Reconnecting with characters of Beth Powning's beloved The Sea Captain's Wife, The Sister's Tale is a story of women finding their way, together, through terrible circumstances they could neither predict nor avoid, but will stop at nothing to overcome.

“Powning’s approach to historical fiction is, as ever, tactile and immersive.” (The Globe and Mail)
"Beth Powning is one of Canada’s most prolific writers.... Her latest epic is a sprawling tale...[that] bring[s] back beloved characters from her lauded 2007 masterpiece The Sea Captain’s Wife.... Both well researched and deliciously entertaining, this book finds Powning at the top of her game.” (The Maritime Edit)
"Beautifully crafted, The Sister’s Tale transports us to the very heart of Victorian New Brunswick, leaving us richer for what we have seen there: the strength and courage of its women.” (Eva Stachniak, author of The Chosen Maiden)
