Door Kept is a slow-burn saga of water, rope, and restraint on the Pacific Northwest Coast. When raiders and rumors pull people from their homes, two neighboring nations refuse to become enemies.

Door Kept is a slow-burn saga of water, rope, and restraint on the Pacific Northwest Coast. When raiders and rumors pull people from their homes, two neighboring nations refuse to become enemies. A watch-pole rises over eelgrass; low lines hum below the surface; a woman called Blue Heron teaches doors in water, not in words. Into this hinge between houses comes Kaleo, an outsider hauled back from the edge and adopted into the work-mending, mapping, learning to carry weight without making a speech. Beside him grow Ts'it, a boy who learns boredom on the perch, and Seam-Finder, a girl who saves lives with knots rather than knives.
As schooners, lists, and winter press close, the corridor holds by practice, not decree. Canoes read fog. Elders count breath. A dented copper plate is walked until it forgets to brag.

Lush, precise, and deeply grounded in cedar lifeways of the coast, Door Kept is a novel about governance that looks like chores, courage that sounds like quiet, and the oldest law the sea knows: grow rings; remember
