"“The imagery and character development in Water pull you deeply into the protagonist’s metamorphosis of body, mind, and spirit. You’ll agonize with her pain and celebrate her self-awareness, and you will be changed by this story. It’s a tale of a woman with many gifts battling sexism, trauma, fear, and the world’s unenlightened deadness. Yet she emerges a courageous, creative empath who will inspire you to dance with your inner vitality and stop settling for less.”

—Gail McMeekin, author of The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women 

“Emotional and gripping, Water is set against a time of great social change. The novel flows into uncommon metaphysical territory, making the invisible real, spirit palpable, and the quest for healing the driving force behind the soul’s purpose. Water quenches our collective thirst for authenticity.”

—Rev. Judith Laxer, author of Along the Wheel of Time: Sacred Stories for Nature Lovers and Founding Priestess of Gaia’s Temple 

“Caroline Allen has written an eloquent and succinct guidebook to healing the dark night of the soul. If you have anxiety, you’ll recognize yourself in these pages and know once and for all that you are not alone. I wish I had had Water tucked beside me when I was going through my own dark night.”

Ellen Newhouse, author of the memoir Nothing Ever Goes On Here"
