It seems when those that dive in for a cool splash or to take a rejuvenating swim, they do not always make it out of the loch alive.

Or is what is quietly held by those as superstition kept hidden, and what is held as superstitious dread, considered water under the bridge? And what is the strange connection between Lake Cahuilla and two young sisters who live in a town of New York nowhere near White Oaks? Why are they drawn to a place they have never been to and had no prior knowledge of before becoming aware of its existence? Is this all-just coincidence or is there something in the backwaters of their past that they do not remember calling out to them to send them a chilling message that will explain an incident from the past that will also have a positive impact on their future?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this first novel from award-winning writer Sara Rath, the forests and lakes of northern Wisconsin pose a daunting threat to outsider Hannah Swann, who is content with her quiet life in Madison, Wisconsin, where she teaches and writes screenplays about obscure nineteenth-century poets. Her relationship with her college-aged daughter is strained yet candid, and a long-standing affair with a married professor has its own peculiar ups and downs. When Hannah unexpectedly inherits her uncle's rundown resort, she must head to the northwoods to close up and sell the business. But the only interested buyer is Ingold, an international mining company, and Hannah finds herself reluctantly operating the resort while trapped in the midst of a treacherous dispute between Ingold and Uncle Hal's activist friends. From safeguarding the wilderness to pursuing elusive new love interests, Hannah has plenty to engage her imagination at Star Lake. A new aspect of her personality emerges, one that is surprisingly courageous and compassionate. Throughout this humorous, elegantly plotted adventure with its appealing characters and lyrical depictions of nature, Hannah encounters the inevitability of change—in herself and in the nostalgic landscape of the deep North.
