The Find

The Find by Kathy Page is a tense and introspective novel about ambition, identity, and moral responsibility. Anna Silowski is a highly accomplished curator at a prestigious paleontological museum, confident on the surface yet carrying a deeply buried secret that has shaped her life. Scott Macleod, by contrast, is uncertain of his direction, burdened by family troubles and a complicated relationship with his Indigenous roots.

When Anna makes an extraordinary discovery while prospecting in a remote region of British Columbia, the excavation that follows brings both characters into a fragile and uneasy partnership. As professional pressures mount and personal boundaries blur, the project edges toward disaster, forcing difficult questions about trust, exploitation, and dependence. Thoughtful and unsettling, The Find explores the human cost behind scientific ambition and the fragile connections that form under extreme pressure.
