|---|
"LAKE DESIRE is the touching, yet captivating story of a biker/tattoo artist/poet who writes about the residents of a small town after a boating accident took the life of Elle Ravenwood, the town's most loved resident. He discovers that from this ending came a new beginning for the town that offered a certain magic that gave them the power to change their lives. His writings become the stories of how her life and death propelled the desires of those twelve residents. They are the stories of finding self-worth, love and regret, and the realization of our own magnificence through the power of forgiveness. It is the story of recognizing that magic does happen everyday. This enlightening book is a sometimes funny, sometimes poignant and always compelling investigation into our quest for significance, and the validation of our existence."
Cid Ripley, Resident Scholar
