Matsie Non, a captivating new voice in historical fiction, is proud to announce the release of her debut novel, Holes in Water. This gripping narrative delves into the intertwining lives of Indigenous people and settlers in the American West, weaving a tapestry of survival, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of hope against a backdrop of societal upheaval and personal turmoil.
Holes in Water transports readers to the rugged landscapes and turbulent times of the American frontier. The story follows the lives of Charles, a volatile and desperate man trying to secure his family’s future, and Josephine, a young Indigenous woman navigating the harsh realities imposed by both her own community and the encroaching settlers. The novel’s title, a poignant metaphor, reflects the struggles and hidden depths of its characters, much like the treacherous whirlpools of the Missouri River, historically referred to as “Holes in Water” by Indigenous tribes.
Charles, a man on the edge, battles both the harsh elements of the frontier and the internal demons of his past. Desperate to secure his family’s place in a rapidly changing world, he makes a series of decisions that lead to unforeseen consequences. Josephine, caught between two worlds, must find her own path to survival and dignity. Through their intersecting lives, Non explores themes of cultural displacement, the relentless drive for survival, and the enduring spirit of hope.
Set against a backdrop of historical events, including the establishment of boarding schools aimed at assimilating Indigenous children and the relentless push of settlers into Native lands, Holes in Water offers a vivid portrayal of a turbulent era. Non’s meticulous research and empathetic storytelling bring to life the harsh realities and resilient spirits of those who lived through these transformative times.
Early readers have lauded Holes in Water for its emotional depth and historical accuracy. Critics describe the novel as “a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the human condition” and “a powerful narrative that sheds light on a dark chapter of American history while celebrating the resilience and strength of its characters.” Holes in Water is now available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers. The novel is available in both paperback and e-book formats.
