"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love - the only survival, the only meaning." Thornton Wilder Sometimes you must tiptoe across that bridge linking this world with the next. Sometimes, it is the only way to put the twisted pieces of one's life back together again. Beth Calhoun is a middle-aged woman haunted by a tragic past - the drowning death of her young mother, the shame of having no father. Escaping from an abusive marriage, she retreats to her family's wilderness island home on Rainy Lake along the Minnesota/Ontario international border. Here she embarks upon a journey of self-discovery that flows through a series of wilderness adventures, past and present. As she delves into her mother's old diaries, she discovers long-held family secrets including the shocking identity of her mysterious father. Spirits of the past emerge as she struggles through a complex web of emotions and shifting relationships. Can she forgive and put the past behind her? Can she learn to trust and to love again? Waters of the Dancing Sky is an inspirational love story, an intriguing blend of fact and fiction that weaves an appreciation of nature and local Ojibwe culture into mankind's eternal search for meaning.

 Waters of the Dancing Sky is Janet Kay's debut novel. A freelance writer, she lives on a lake in the woods of Wascott, Wisconsin. Her winters are spent on a secluded lake in the mountains near Seeley Lake, Montana. Drawn to nature since she was a child, she sees its wonders as a source of renewal, reflection, and connection with something greater than oneself. Lifelong passions include creative writing, photography, travel, and spending time with family.

This novel follows the protagonist Beth Calhoun from her abusive
marriage through her struggle to become a strong woman able to stand
on her own. Set near the Canadian border on Rainy Lake, the story
introduces Seth, a native American, and his Ojibwa spirituality as
well as Beth’s dark family history, which haunts her.

The characters are appealing, the unusual setting is strongly
portrayed, and the resolution, while predictable, is satisfying. If
you like romance, historical anecdotes, and Native American lore, this
book should be on your list to read.
