Description

Amber Caron's debut collection, Call Up the Waters, is a poignant exploration of the lives and labors of girls and women in rural America. Set against the backdrop of the natural world, these ten stories reveal the intricate relationships between humans and their environment.

The characters that inhabit these pages are each shaped by the land they live on, seeking meaning through labor and connection through work. Yet, as they navigate their daily lives, they often find themselves lost in unfamiliar spaces, searching for something more. With a keen eye for detail and a steady hand, Caron weaves stories that are both sharply observant and elegantly textured.

Through the voices of these women, Caron offers a nuanced portrayal of life off the map and off the grid. Their regrets and devotions are deeply human, making them instantly recognizable to readers. This is a remarkable debut from a talented new writer, one that promises much for the future.
