Glacier House (Hands of Time)

Life at the quaint railway hotel in the Rocky Mountains is—at least for Noththry—far from idyllic. After losing her husband and child in the Great War, her life is set in tones of grey, yet she strives to find solace in creating a welcoming haven for guests from all over the world. Her life is far from happy, but she’s alive, and she tells herself that’s all that matters.

Jonathan Dreggs knows firsthand the pain of war and the many losses that accompany it. After being medically discharged from the army, he seeks a brighter future in Canada, hoping to heal from the war physically as well as psychologically.

His interest is piqued when he meets Noththry, the formidable hotelier with watchful eyes and a witty sense of humour. But there are things about the woman that don’t add up…like the missing fingertip she tries to conceal beneath gloved hands and the scars hidden behind her eyes.

But just as Jonathan begins to unlock the mysteries of her past, strange events begin to unfold at Glacier House, leaving Noththry and Jonathan questioning not only their own secrets, but why they are suddenly connected.
