A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a landscape,Home Watersis a portrait of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized inA River Runs through It,includingthe Reverend Maclean, the patriarch who introduced the family to fishing; Norman, who balanced a life divided between literature and the tug of the rugged West; and tragic yet luminous Paul (played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redfords film adaptation), whose mysterious death has haunted the family and led John to investigate his uncles murder and reveal new details in these pages.

A universal story about nature, family, and the art of fly fishing, Macleans memoir beautifully captures the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come fromour home waters.
