Three sisters. One rugged coastline. A lifetime of tides between them.
In the quiet coves of Newfoundland, Clara, Helen, and Mary Bennet grew up chasing gulls, keeping secrets, and learning what it meant to stay - in place, in love, in silence.
Spanning decades and told in four parts, The Ways We Stayed explores the fierce loyalty and quiet resilience of women whose lives were shaped by family duty, heartbreak, and the ever-changing sea.
Tender, lyrical, and deeply human, this novel traces the threads that bind us - to each other, to home, and to the parts of ourselves we almost left behind.
