Grab the hankies as Eternal
on the Water is so real and full of honest love.
In the autumn chill, Joseph Cobb, aka “Cobb,” is on a
research expedition to kayak the wild waters of Maine and camp on the same
island David Thoreau visited. Before he
even gets his kayak submerged, he meets Mary who is on an expedition of her
own.
From the first shared peanut butter and crackers, sleeping
bag, and the love of the wilderness, they won’t separate from one another.
But there is a conflict that neither one created or can
control. Mary suspects her family
inheritance may be fatal in the form of Huntington’s disease. Will she test herself to find out, or leave
it in the hands of fate? What does Cobb think about this possibility? Are there ultimatums to their instantaneous
love when it may have a time limit?
The honesty and intense love shared by Cobb and Mary along
with their journey through the forest and rivers, a trip to an exotic island,
and back to the prairies, left me with the reassurance that love is the most
important accolade life can give.
Joseph Monninger relates
a fabulous romance, intense with love and pain, and rich in
characterization. I needed to take a
moment at the end and ponder the need for anything but true love.
Enjoy,
