About The Book
No place for a horseman. But some refuge. Good enough.
San Josef, 1898: For Clayton Monroe, this struggling colony at the far northwest corner of Vancouver Island is his last hope of refuge—a sanctuary from the imagined demons and real enemies who have pursued him for three decades, across the Civil War battlefields of Virginia and the plains of Kansas to the gold-rush gateway of Seattle.
For Anika Frederickson, San Josef is her new home, a community built on the promises of provincial government officials and carved from the coastal wilderness by the perserverance and dedication of her fellow Danish co-operative idealists.
Blowing in on the rain and wind that batter the failing outpost of San Josef comes the inevitable challenge to Clayton's safety and Anika's family.
At San Josef, the rainforest and the river will bear witness.
A powerful novel of redemption and revenge inspired by a real American Civil War mystery.

Raves and Reviews
"The characters are as complex as a spider’s web, the language poetic and the environment a tangible force. Harold Macy paints a visual and psychological picture in every paragraph."
– PAULA WILD, author of Return of the Wolf: Conflict & Coexistence
"In Harold Macy’ remarkable novel, Vancouver Island’s wild and beautiful northernmost region is the stage for an intriguing tale. San Josef does what novels do best—brings us in close to witness an unfolding drama (both personal and communal) that we can believe in. As in many of the best stories, much is at stake here for both the main characters and their community. At the same time, much is to be enjoyed by the reader."
– JACK HODGINS, CM
"Reading Harold Macy’s book San Josef was a remarkable education for me. His book places the reader into life as it must have been lived in that remote area in 1898. With the use of resilient and colourful characters plus a compelling descriptive text, Macy’s novel takes the reader into a completely different world. The book holds your attention from the beginning — as every good story should."
– VALERIE GREEN, The British Columbia Review
