Finding Each Other
Upper Michigan, 1820.
Jessie has spent years building a life that asks little of anyone but herself. Deep in the wilderness, she has found solitude, competence, and something close to peace—if not quite the healing she once hoped would come.
Then she finds Waaseyaa.
Injured, half-frozen, and far from home, the Ojibwe woman should be only another problem to solve. Jessie knows how to set a broken bone, tend a wound, keep a fire burning, and survive a northern winter. What she doesn’t know is what to do with the woman recovering beside her—or with the quiet friendship taking root between them.
As days become weeks, the rhythms of survival give way to conversation, laughter, trust, and an intimacy neither woman expected. Waaseyaa must heal enough to make the journey home. Jessie must decide whether healing of another kind is worth risking the solitary life that has kept her safe.
Sometimes finding your way home begins with finding someone you never knew you were looking for.

This is a beautiful, quietly moving story about connection, healing, and the courage it takes to let someone into your world. Jessie and Waaseyaa’s relationship is a lovely reminder that love isn’t about changing someone but about understanding, accepting, and supporting them exactly as they are. I appreciated the tenderness with which their story unfolds and the way two women from different worlds find a sense of belonging in one another. If you enjoy historical sapphic romance with heartfelt character development and a gentle exploration of what it means to truly be seen and accepted, this is one worth picking up. I can’t wait to read more about these two incredible women and see where their journey takes them next!

This slow burn lesbian novel allows the reader to live in 1820 in the Upper Michigan Territory. You can almost smell the fire and hear the dripping of the cave! The characters are lovely and you fall in love with them almost as much as they fall in love with each other! Don't miss this gem.
