This is “the tale of a bereaved & pursued musician embarking under sail on a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply beloved, bookselling wife. Rainy, an endearing bear of an Orphean narrator, seeks refuge in the harbors, fogs & remote islands of the inland sea…Amidst the Gulliver-like challenges of life at sea & no safe landings, Rainy is lifted by physical beauty, surprising humor, generous strangers, & an unexpected companion in a young girl who comes aboard” (Amazon).
