Moving Water

Britta Santowski is a freelance writer in Victoria, British Columbia.

Joan Skogan eloquently expresses her deep passion for the sea in this
story of a woman who has lived and loved on the shores of the Canadian
North Pacific. Like the sea, Rose Bachmann is an elusive force—fluid,
always moving, and unable to be contained. We follow her as she embarks
on a journey of personal growth—a search that takes her on board
foreign ships as an observer with the Canadian fisheries, through a
marriage to Richard the fisherman, back to the city, and then to the
East Coast.

Skogan enriches her story with sea lore, recipes, and historical
voices. Moving Water is a powerful and evocative tribute to the sea, the
lives it shapes, and all the metaphors contained within it.
