by Ann Linnea

Forty-two years old, naturalist, educator, a Midwestern wife and mother, Ann Linnea sets off around the inland sea of Lake Superior to immerse herself in nature, test the depth of her athleticism, and to review all that she has taken for granted in her life.

Deep Water Passage is the resulting profound memoir of Ann’s heroic and soul-baring voyage battling the biggest lake on the planet for insight and survival. A gripping tale of personal courage and honest self-review, it also serves as a metaphor for many kinds of mid-life passages, honoring both women and men.

It is a time-honored favorite for book club reading, constantly being discovered and rediscovered by word of mouth and book club favorites lists.
