The Find - Softcover

Anna Silowski, highly-educated, driven and successful, works as a curator in a prestigious paleontological museum; Scott Macleod dropped out of school, has a confused relationship with his native roots, and an alcoholic father in tow. She, it seems, is at the top of her game; he does not even know what his might be. A day's prospecting leads Anna to make an extraordinary discovery in the remote part of BC where Scott lives. As the tensions below the surface of her successful career are exposed, Anna, who has for years carried terrifying knowledge that she feels she must keep secret `almost from herself', is pushed toward breakdown. She finds herself unexpectedly dependent on Scott; recruited to help on the excavation she is heading, he is soon way out of his depth. The excavation itself teeters on the edge of disaster. What can be salvaged? Has Anna used Scott? Will he abandon her? What is the nature of the bond between them?
