November: Book of The Month

Waterborne: Chronicle of the Clan of Noah by David J. Marsh

The prophet shipbuilder is dead. A family history is revealed. Life with Noah wasn’t easy. Life without him wasn’t possible.

The famed prophet and shipbuilder lays in his tent, on his deathbed. The family gathers, as family will, taking turns at his side—a few minutes, a day. Each brings their memories, scars, and burdens. A wife, three sons, and their three wives—each knows the past, and each offers a telling.

From smallest detail to sweeping revelation, we are told of life inside the family that survived the prophecy, absorbed the ridicule and carried the memory. Construction plans scratched onto slate, snakes the girth of cedar trunks, and a vineyard reduced to a pasture of ash. With the sunrise over a new world, a single narrative emerges of life inside the clan of Noah.
