A visit to the South Pacific archipelago of islands known as Vanuatu sparked a years-long research and writing project for Tanis MacLeod, which only intensified as she began to read historical accounts of Canadian missionaries going there. Her new novel "The Sea Between Two Shores" tells a fictional story of missionary colonization alongside a story of two modern families dealing with loss and scar tissue. Tanis Rideout appears at the Ottawa International Writersfest this Sunday.
