In Looking Through Water, William McKay finds himself reliving his past to help his troubled grandson, Kyle, deal with the present.
 
William’s story starts on an Adirondacks lake and wends its way through Manhattan to the Florida Keys. Colorful characters from the old man’s past come to life to help him tell an unforgettable story full of surprises and suspense. Fueled by nature’s fury, men are yanked out of their comfort zones and thrown together to confront life and death. Just as William appears to be on the brink of permanent unmooring, a stranger unexpectedly arrives to provide the tethering he has always sought.
 
Looking Through Water twists and turns as old wounds are revealed, wrongs are redressed, lives are threatened, understanding surfaces, and love arrives. With his grandfather’s past laid bare, Kyle must ultimately face how he might shape his future.
 
This story explores the emotions that make up the intricate tapestry of family structure by pulling at the threads of truth, lies, and misunderstandings.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Benjamin P. ★★★★★

Picked this up not knowing the author owns a few minor league teams, but the baseball backdrop feels lived-in rather than researched. The 210 pages move fast, and my used hardcover arrived with only a faint scuff on the jacket.

Kevin ★★★★★

My husband read it in two evenings, which never happens. For a 210-page hardcover it moves fast, and the copy I got had just a faint scuff on the cover, nothing worth fussing over.

Penelope L. ★★★★★

Got this in the mail and didn't put it down for two evenings—210 pages fly by when you're invested in the characters. The hardcover has a few scuffs on the cover, but that didn't bother me one bit. A solid read from someone who clearly knows the baseball world inside and out.
