About the Book

Recently released from prison, reclusive Blake Alvares returns to the only place she ever felt safe, the now derelict Maine town in which she harbored as a teen. Determined to conceal her secrets and losses, she soon finds herself dragged into others' lives when she rents a room from an ailing widow and takes a job on a boat owned by a notorious young lobsterman named Leland. Leland Savard is nearly broke, trying to support himself and 9-year-old Quinnie as he wrestles with a dangerous family legacy. Despite all odds, he and Blake forge a successful working partnership, and as she establishes a timid friendship with widowed Nora, Blake glimpses what it might mean to truly belong. But when Leland's rash actions place her and Quinnie in peril, Blake feels forced to run again. On her quest for home, she must confront a daunting question: can she ever again trust in human connection? - Winner: 2025 IPPY Silver Medal - Honorable Mention: Eric Hoffer Book Award - Finalist: Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Award - Finalist: Next Generation Indie Book Award - Finalist: National Indie Excellence Award

Review :
**Newsday's Top Reads for Fall, 9/5/24** "Full of grit and atmosphere, suspense and feeling--a powerful and promising debut."--Kirkus Review (starred) "vivid...poignant...Perry crafts the action with a cinematic scope."--Publisher's Weekly "What a fiercely original novel! I couldn't help but fall in love with just-out-of-prison Blake and troubled dad and lobster man Leland, who hires her on as his apprentice. About trying to outrun our fractured lives and find our truest selves, and about facing our pasts to find our futures, this powerful read (and by the way, the Maine and lobster details are fascinating) is truly a thoughtful stunner about where we find our place in the world-and our person.--Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder" This beautiful debut is a must-read for anyone who craves richly-hewn characters, a stunning setting, and a story that grips you until the very end. From their flaws and triumphs to their mistakes and breakthroughs, the characters will captivate you from the first page and stay with you until long after you finish reading."Elizabeth de Veer, author of The Ocean in Winter "Meghan Perry paints the weathered landscape of a small coastal Maine town and its hard-knock world of lobster fishing in a way that's moody, earth-toned, nuanced, and completely immersive. This is a story of love that sprouts from dark crevices inside tortured people, for whom, despite or because of their brokenness, we quickly come to care. Bringing to mind Jane Austen's Persuasion with its unbridled romanticism of enduring injustice on the way to forgiveness, WATER FINDS A WAY disturbs and soothes, breaks and mends our hearts, and reminds us to look beneath appearances for the light of the human soul."--River Adams, National Jewish Book Award finalist in fiction (2024), author of The Light of Seven Days "In this gripping debut novel, Perry navigates one woman's reckoning with unspeakable trauma and her will to move beyond the demons of her past. With vivid storytelling and evocative prose, Perry draws readers into the heart of a Maine fishing village, where struggles abound, and the sea both sustains and threatens. Despite dark turns, Water Finds a Way; is a tale of resilience and hope. Long after the final page is turned, Perry's narrative continues to resonate, offering a poignant testament to the power of human connection, the strength of community, and the healing forces of nature.--Gigi Georges, author of Downeast: Five Maine Girls and the Unseen Story of Rural America "Much like the alternately desolate and starkly beautiful Nothern Maine coast to which ex-con Blake returns for a new start, Meghan Perry's riveting and richly observed debut takes us on a serpentine journey of despair and hope. Not afraid to confront the roiling messiness of life, Water Finds a Way, will have you holding your breath until you resurface at its satisfying end."--Belle Brett, author of Gina in the Floating World
