Life, love, beauty and survival with a few rants and a dose of humor. This is a collection of adventure stories - mostly true - about the authors discoveries about herself, nature, rivers, and kayaks. Sprinkled with a few illustrations and photos, kayakers and nature lovers will enjoy these brief vignettes about life on and sometimes, in, the water. One woman's midlife journey from the purchase of a kayak, to capsizing it - punctuated with a cross-country move from the wide, slow Arkansas River in Oklahoma to the rushing waters of the Rio Grande in New Mexico - and a few puddles in between. A few river nixies and other fey characters can be found, as well as a profound love and respect for nature and the River Mother.
