In Falling Water, Rising Mist, author Dr. Nilima Krishna Jayaraman offers a collection of a lifetime of gleanings as she straddles two cultures and keeps a balance between her roles as a physician and a home maker. She journeys through decades of experiences, seamlessly weaving a rich tapestry of personal values and light, playful flippancy, interspersed with spiritual insights, universal love, appreciation, and sensitivity toward all of nature. Jayaraman's musings feature a variety of topics including her parents, husband, children, family, friends, plants, pets, patients, and the planet. Words that have filtered through deep consciousness have been faithfully transcribed here to encourage all to think deeply, live fully, and tread lightly and joyfully through this journey of life. Spiritually uplifting and thought provoking with a touch of humor, the poems and essays have the ability to tickle the funny bone and touch a chord in the heart.

"All you can do is be who you is." Suzanne Marie Sabine Chicot Thibodeaux (called Sue for short) lives on a houseboat deep in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Swamp. One lazy summer afternoon when the air grows heavier than a catfish's bath towel, a hurricane swoops Sue up -- only to drop her like a hot patate into the swamp below. Sue finds herself nose-to-snout with a queen-sized, prickly-backed mama Alligator. Luckily, Mama Coco is no ordinary gator. She invites Sue into her family and teaches her all she knows. Sue tries hard to be an alligator; still, every once in a while, she recalls a wisp of a familiar song and begins to wonder: Who am I -- a Gator or a Girl? How this spirited heroine claims her identity and her name -- Alligator Sue -- makes a funny, affecting, and wise tale, illustrated with irresistible joie de vivre.
