The must-have gift for dad this holiday season, in this memoir "a
father shares the joys of fly-fishing with his daughters... A
heartfelt, beautifully written celebration of the wonders of nature
and comfort of family" (Kirkus ). Fishing was Mark Hume's passion
since he was a young boy, a lifeline through a childhood marked by
his family's frequent moves. When he became a father, he knew he
wanted to pass on his love of water, fishing, and the natural world
to his daughters. Most of all, he wanted to give them hope for
their future even as they were coming of age during uncertain
times. As soon as they were old enough, Mark taught his girls how
to read the water and see the patterns in nature. He showed them
how to cast, how to catch fish and release them, and-only when
needed-how to kill them. He discovered that fly fishing and
fatherhood require many of the same skills: patience, flexibility,
and the knowledge of when to reel in and when to let go.
Illuminating and heartfelt, Reading the Water is a much-needed,
positive story about a father raising daughters, and a meditation
on finding faith in a deep connection with the natural world.
