The
Dundurn Group, 2003
“Priesnitz's
style is refreshing. Her writing is loaded with symbolic double meanings
that give both depth and shape to the narrative.”
– The Hamilton Examiner
“A Darker Light is a superb psychological drama laced with memorable lines.”
– The Owen Sound Sun Times
“Sharply defined.”
– The Globe and Mail
As a photographer
for an upscale travel magazine, Sara is able to combine her passion for
photography with a successful career. But when she is diagnosed with a
debilitating eye condition, her ideal world is thrown out of focus, forcing
her to re-evaluate the reality of her future.
As an acupuncturist
with her own thriving clinic, Sitara has found the perfect way to merge
her livelihood with her deep love of healing. But when her estranged father
arrives for an unannounced visit, she is compelled to re-examine a past
she has tried to forget.
Troubled by doubt,
fear and family scars, Sara and Sitara struggle together to clarify the
past, cope with the present and envision the future.

Drifting
a novel
Literary Fiction
ISBN: 1-896065-09-0
The
Boiling Kettle Press, 2000
“Heidi Priesnitz
is good at what she does. Drifting is a wonderful tale.”
– The Coast
“With the same
lyricism that propelled her collection of short stories, Tangled with
Leaves, author Heidi Priesnitz has written Drifting, a gently
flowing novel of one man's simple life. Drifting is a story of
great endurance, patience and ingenuity.”
– Atlantic
Books Today
Haunted
by a failed marriage and the death of his son, Ben retreats into the woods.
His story of restlessness, survival and second chances begins in a ramshackle
cabin in the 1970's, and traces his loves, losses and triumphs over the
next twenty-five years. Peopled by artists, musicians, farmers and sputtering
Volkswagen vans, Drifting is a finely crafted debut novel that
is poignant and lively, earthy and sensual.
