About the Book

Fairhaven - A Novel of Climate Optimism traces the lives of a group of innovators, engineers, and visionaries as they struggle against the odds to bring climate solutions to Southeast Asia and to the world. Grace Chan, a young Malaysian working at the Fairhaven infrastructure project in Penang, is terrified of what the future might bring. She reluctantly comes to terms with the role that she and her colleagues will play in addressing that future, and the toll it will take on their own lives. Nearby, on an abandoned oil platform, three unlikely companions come together by chance as they discover an unexpected opportunity arising from a devastating accident. Meanwhile, in the distant north, a Japanese assistant professor takes a bold idea from concept to reality. As they work towards their common goals, a more powerful force lies in wait, which may bring them success or disaster. Praise for Fairhaven In a time when the narrative matters more than we can possibly imagine, the need for story telling that lets us reflect on who we are, who we're becoming, and the world we wish to create is incredibly important. This book is that story. It will open up a door to your imagination while serving as a bridge to the place of yourself that remembers our strengths and why we're here. It's beautiful and engaging and a true testament to our times. Anne Therese, Author of The Climate Optimist.
