But when Mosely Albright, a black man from Chicago's South Side, comes to her back door one morning needing a drink of water and seeking directions back to the train, her plans are derailed . . . to the chagrin of Mishigami (so named by the Ojibwe, also known as Lake Michigan), who has been trying to lure Mary Em into his icy depths in the hopes that she will save him.

Autoren-Porträt von Patricia Ricketts
Patricia Ricketts taught English for many years in Chicagoland and Kansas City school districts. She received a lifelong love of music, the written word, the visual arts, and healthy arguing from her Irish Catholic household. She has been penning essays, short stories, poems, and novels for most of her life; however, after receiving a scholarship to the University of Edinburgh for creative writing in 2010, her passion for writing escalated. Since then, she has had short stories published in New Directions, The Slate, Meta, The Blue Hour Magazine, and Realize Magazine, and on NPR's "This I Believe" website. She is currently working on a new novel, tentatively titled The End of June.
