Many Waters

The stories in MANY WATERS feature characters on lonely quests to find whatever it might take to slake their parched spirits. Why can't an aging mother quit combing a river's banks? What triggers a respected businessman's nightmares about hiding a corpse? Why must a boy risk swimming in treacherous currents despite his father's dire warnings? What compels a teenage girl to keep clothes under lock and key? How could a chance encounter in a football stadium haunt a physician decades later? "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it."--Song of Solomon
