About the Author
Through unexpected characters and vivid prose, Olivia Hawker explores the varied landscape of the human spirit. Olivia's interest in genealogy often informs her writing. Her first two novels from Lake Union Publishing, The Ragged Edge of Night and One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow (2019), are based on true stories found within the author's family tree. She lives in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, where she homesteads at Longlight, a one-acre microfarm dedicated to sustainable permaculture practices.
Reviews
"Harrowing and yet life-affirming, told in the richest, most eloquent prose, The Ragged Edge of Night is one of the World War II novels that will stand out and be remembered." -Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of The Tuscan Child "...Emotionally charged and beautifully written...Olivia Hawker shows that life can move forward and unexpected love can triumph, even when it strikes the most unlikely people during brutal years of conflict. This is an unusual story based on a true one, making it all the more fascinating and satisfying." -Ann Howard Creel, bestselling author of The Whiskey Sea "When the world is at war, can one person make a difference? This moving historical novel immerses readers in World War II-era Germany, where even small acts of resistance have terrible consequences...Eye-opening and ultimately inspiring." -Elizabeth Blackwell, author of On a Cold Dark Sea "Set in Nazi Germany, The Ragged Edge of the Night is a powerful story of a priest turned husband turned resistance leader. Hateful forces had grown so powerful that they destroyed a nation and were marching on to threaten the world. In the face of such power it would be easy to grow complacent and hopeless, but this story of a simple man making the difficult choice to fight for his deepest values reminds us of the best of humanity." -Laila Ibrahim, author of Yellow Crocus "An introspective, poignant voyage through one man's struggle to reconcile his past. A beautifully written book highlighting the senseless choices that good people were forced to make." -Gemma Liviero, bestselling author of Pastel Orphans and Broken Angels
