Read an Excerpt:
Lake Tranquil wasvast. So much so that Patience couldn’t
see where it ended or began. Despite its
size, it was deserted. She was the only
human in sight and she loved the thought of being so alone, immersed in the
beauty of nature. An occasional bird
flitted in and out of the trees, or swooped down to land at the water’s
edge. In the distance, a rabbit ran
through the trees, its tail bobbed, flashing white as it ran for cover.
Trees lined craggy mountains that surrounded the lake. They were thick, green and tall, and reached
to the shoreline; only a small wavering line of pebble-covered beach sat
between the shimmering waters and the forest.
It was heavenly.
It wasn’t the first time Patience had been to Lake
Tranquil. Once, as a child, she had
visited it with her mother and enjoyed a week of blissful freedom away from the
chaos of life. Now here, fleeting
memories flooded back. Swimming in the
lake as her mother sat on the deck and read.
Running through the trees playing hide and seek, and sitting on the
shore as the sun set. Watching the stars
appear overhead as her mother cooked fish over a smoky fire. It was a time in her life that stuck in her
mind, when her mother had been truly happy and content.
It was why Patience was here.
For
her mother.To try to be closer to her, to try to understand her.To try to find
some peace.
