Sobre o livro
This is the story about a relationship between a lake and a woman - it is a love story that has survived a depression, a world war, fire, wind, loneliness, government intervention, and time. A few miles east of the imaginary line that separates the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) in northeastern Minnesota from the Quetico Provincial Park in southern Ontario lives an 83-year-old woman who has been native to this landscape for 66 years. 24,000 times she has seen the sun rise - from solstice to equinox and back again. 24,000 times she has watched the light fade on Raven’s Rock across the bay. She has enjoyed an intimate and continuing relationship with the lake, the birds and the animals that share this landscape and she has been sustained because of what she learned a long time ago from the people who lived here.

Sobre o autor
Carol DeSain
Tofte, Minnesota, USA
Carol DeSain has lived in northern Minnesota, near the Canadian border for 40 years - - - "I am now anchored to this landscape. In this geography I am sustained and connected hand-by-hand to those who have cared for this land long before I arrived. It is a simple gift of relationship. Like Betsy I have found a place where I belong. She has reminded me that I am connected to the land intimately through other people. Without their stories my own stories lose context. Without human connections I am always a visitor who is never at home."
