The day the falls stood still : a novel / Cathy Marie Buchanan.
1915. The dawn of the hydroelectric power era in Niagara Falls. Seventeen-year-old Bess Heath has led a sheltered existence as the youngest daughter of the director of the Niagara Power Company. After graduation day at her boarding school, she is impatient to return to her picturesque family home near the Falls. But when she arrives, nothing is as she had left it. Her father has lost his job at the power company, her mother is reduced to taking in sewing from the society ladies she once entertained, and Isabel, her vivacious older sister, is a shadow of her former self. She has shut herself in her bedroom, barely eating - and harboring a secret. The night of her return, Bess meets Tom Cole by chance on a trolley platform and finds herself inexplicably drawn to him - against her family's strong objections. He is not from their world. Bess is forced to make a painful choice between her desires and what is best for her family and future.
