Anne Smith-Nochasak's Books
The real lessons are learned along the shoreline.

About the Author

 Anne M. Smith-Nochasak grew up in a rural community that might be judgmental, but also watches over its own. 

​The ideas for her first novel, A Canoer of Shorelines, grew from her rural upbringing and from her summers in her lakeshore retreat. Her new novel, The Ice Widow, is set in Northern Canada and rural Nova Scotia, and elements of the plot emerged from her reflections on her own teaching years. She is not, however, Anna.

​A Canoer of Shorelines is Anne M. Smith-Nochasak's debut novel, published in April 2021.
​
The pivotal experiences take place at the old farm, but along the shoreline the key lessons are learned. To be a “canoer of shorelines” one does not need skill or gear or even paddles; one needs only an appreciation of the beauty of the moment.
