Coercing with incessant tug,
Dictating direction,
Meeting defiance with frigid lashing.
Overturned canoe rests where former occupants, now soaked,
Watch coolers and clothing travel down river,
Now property of the pilfering current.
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
