SOUNDING LINE selected as Chapters-Indigo Heather's Pick

Anne DeGrace's latest novel is set in Parry's Harbour, Nova Scotia, a fictional village, where the inhabitants are galvanized by the sighting of a UFO off the coast. A novel about space, depth and possibility, Sounding Line was inspired by true events -- considered to be 'Canada's Roswell' -- that occurred in 1967 in Shag Harbour, NS. DeGrace explores the reactions of the village inhabitants to the unusual events that cause everyone in Parry's Harbour to be transformed in subtle ways, including teenage Pocket Snow; his father and dying mother; Wanda, the psychic; and Rodney, the rookie reporter from Ottawa.
