The Hand That Sows the Stars

Two crossings. One spoken past. A journey to reclaim what was nearly lost.

When Henry McRae, a war-haunted fisherman from Cape Breton, boards the RMS Queen Elizabeth in 1947, he carries only a suitcase, a battered journal, and the weight of an unspoken past. He's bound for England, not toward escape, but toward reckoning. Across the Atlantic, somewhere in England, waits Mary Shefford, the woman he loved before the world fell apart. His only clue to finding her? A rare poetry book.

Set against the vast hush of post-war seas and the tender ache of memory, The Hand That Sows the Stars is a lyrical, redemptive story of legacy, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

For readers drawn to the space between grief and grace, where the past still echoes, and meaning can be sown from what remains. Also, for fans of Kristin Hannah and Anthony Doerr.
