Publisher's Summary:

More than one man's journey to self-awareness, this is a raw, honest coming-of-age story that reveals the true meaning of family.

In Looking Through Water, William McKay finds himself reliving his past to help his troubled grandson, Kyle, deal with the present.

William's story starts on an Adirondacks lake and wends its way through Manhattan to the Florida Keys. Colorful characters from the old man's past come to life to help him tell an unforgettable story full of surprises and suspense. Fueled by nature's fury, men are yanked out of their comfort zones and thrown together to confront life and death. Just as William appears to be on the brink of permanent unmooring, a stranger unexpectedly arrives to provide the tethering he has always sought.

Looking Through Water twists and turns as old wounds are revealed, wrongs are redressed, lives are threatened, understanding surfaces, and love arrives. With his grandfather's past laid bare, Kyle must ultimately face how he might shape his future.

This story explores the emotions that make up the intricate tapestry of family structure by pulling at the threads of truth, lies, and misunderstandings.

A quick and deeply satisfying read, no matter who you are

I grew up with a fanatical fly fisherman for a father, who turned me on to to Looking Through Water. Reading it brought right back to all those long days we spent together on those sunny flats in the Keys and it was truly a treasure to be whisked back to that world I remember so fondly. I could almost taste the salt air and feel the sunburn on the back of my neck as I I became enthralled with the characters and the familiar world they inhabit. The way they talk, the mantras they live by, the passion with which they pursue their elusive catch, it all rang so very true to the memories I have of that place. At first glance, one might assume that it's a simply a manly tale, told through generations of men; but as a daughter of this almost secret and certainly unruly sporting tradition, there is so much to appreciate in the richness of the characters and their relationships with each other. Having been a tangential part of the world the Rich's characters inhabit, I not only found tremendous comfort in the authenticity of their interactions but also felt I could actually learn quite a bit about the tradition and history that has enthralled my father for as long as I can remember. And aside from my own personal connection to the esoteric world that provides the setting for this story, I could not help but find deep connection to the underlying motifs of complex personal and family histories and the residues of regret and self doubt that often punctuate our human condition. I can't imagine a single soul out there that can't relate to these things.
