The Tide Waits for No Woman by Richard K. Perkins

The Tide Waits for No Woman by Richard K. Perkins

A Woman's Courage, A Nation in Turmoil: New Historical Novel Explores Identity, Survival, and the Meaning of Freedom
In a time of uncertainty and upheaval, one woman's journey through grief, moral courage, and self-discovery becomes a quiet act of rebellion in The Tide Waits for No Woman, a poignant new historical novel from Richard K. Perkins.

Set in the tense prelude to the American Civil War, the story follows newlywed Abby Anderson, who receives word that her husband has perished at sea. Rather than succumb to the rigid mourning rituals of 1860s society, Abby channels her grief into purpose by joining a local Underground Railroad effort. Her mission takes a harrowing turn when an early snowstorm traps her deep in the Maine wilderness with a fugitive slave family, an Acadian trapper named Bill Boudreaux, and two Abenaki teenagers.

As harsh winter conditions force the group to depend on one another for survival, unexpected bonds form-challenging social norms and setting Abby on a course that will test her heart, her values, and her place in the world.

With lyrical prose and deeply human characters, The Tide Waits for No Woman blends historical fact with evocative fiction, offering readers an immersive look into antebellum life, racial injustice, and the quiet heroism of ordinary people. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Geraldine Brooks, and Cold Mountain, this sweeping novel reminds us that even in the most divided times, compassion can forge powerful connections.

"A deeply moving story of resilience, love, and the moral choices that shape us." - Early Reader Review
