Celebrated storyteller Jerry Apps is back with a look at the ethereal, eternal touchstone of rural life--water. Here, in the wise and welcoming prose that brought you "The Quiet Season" and "Whispers and Shadows," Apps shares memories of water on the farm, from the chore of hauling buckets each day to afternoons spent listening to the rain patter on a barn roof. Apps writes that he learned from a young age to never complain about a rainy day lest his father would admonish, "Never curse the rain!"
