Summary

Water will always call to mankind as the source of all life. In Sacred Waters, the sequel to Sacred Feathers and Sacred Stones, author Maril Crabtree offers a collection of stories, poems, and meditations about how water-from a drop to drink to a glorious downpour-has influenced and guided us during pivotal moments in our lives.
