THROUGH WATER & STONE: A ZION NATIONAL PARK NOVEL

A split-time historical romance novel
In 1948, park ranger Henry Eriksson and his wife, Alma, are two years removed from their infant son's sudden death in a flash flood in Zion National Park, but the weight of the loss lingers. When Henry discovers an abandoned infant in a hatbox on his morning rounds, he's unsure how to react, but Alma is delighted, and she reignites with purpose at what seems to be a miracle from God.
Seventy-five years later, Talia Eriksson disgracefully leaves her job at an athleisure company in Palo Alto, California, and returns to Zion National Park to reconnect with her grandfather and remake her life goals. But when an at-home DNA test exposes family secrets, Talia and law enforcement ranger Blake Mitchell search for answers. As the uncertain future looms, Talia must learn that family is deeper than genetics and that trusting God means being still and clinging to the Rock.
Award-winning author and former park ranger Karen Barnett will delight readers with rich descriptions of the natural world and difficult questions about faith and family in this novel perfect for anyone interested in the national parks.
