The Allisonian

Leah is determined to overcome her grief by focusing on her studies and distancing herself from the very people who helped her through her mother's death. Dating is not an option; she has been so thoroughly hurt in the past that she has fortified the walls of her isolation with a stubborn reluctance to love. However, a bizarre pattern begins to play out during her end-of-term activities at Mount Allison University that threatens her ability to remain segregated from those who care about her. In her struggle to protect herself she risks losing more than she could have ever imagined possible, including the very man she refuses to love. Set in maritime Sackville, New Brunswick, The Allisonian is a story of time, trust, and tragedy told through the eyes of a woman blinded by pain.
