The Autumn of Madame Helene takes us back to the small town of St. Homais in Nova Scotia, Canada, where Helene Giroux is dealing with many changes, among them the loss of her long-time partner, health issues, and disturbing professional difficulties. Heelene's resilience is tested further when she and her daughter, Claire, are stalked by Claire's violent ex-husband, Thomas. As Thomas's threats escalate, certain painful choices will need to be made. Told with mesmerizing detail and compassion, here is an engrossing story about courage and family, and about difficult decisions with life-altering consequences.
