Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache Candle is a woodsy candle. The only American contribution to Philip Sava's wildly popular series of exploration novels. Cape Heartache is loosely based on an expedition Sava took to the Pacific Northwest as a teenager in 1881 and is generally considered the most candid of his works. The novel, which centers on a house built in a coastal grove of ancient trees, documents his romance with a young woman descended from the Nehalem Indian tribe. The themes of leaving the familiar and finding solace and comfort in a new place still resonate today. Rediscover this story with Cape Heartache Candle
