Walk on water

Description:

From catfishing as a young girl in the lazy, red clay waters of the South to battling marlin in the Caribbean, Lorian Hemingway has had a passion for fishing all her life. It was a passion that would sustain her even as the burden of a broken family and her own alcoholism threatened to consume her. Walk on Water is her memoir about loss, recovery, coping with the family you are born into, and making a family of your own. But above all it is an homage to fishing - its ability to bind people, to challenge, and ultimately, to heal.
