Synopsis

By the time she was thirty-three years old, Christine Mason Miller had it all - a thriving career as an artist, a husband who loved her, and a home with an ocean view. In less than a year, it all fell apart. After recovering from a year that involved an affair, a divorce, and a cancer diagnosis, she found herself married into a new blended family that forced her to confront all her broken ideas about what it means to be part of a family. Time and again, she was faced with the same choice: resist it all or see everything as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Touching upon themes of forgiveness, presence, acceptance, and healing, Moving Water is a testament to the power of everyday choices and the joy of surrendering to love.

Review:

I waited to read Moving Water when I had some time to myself, and I'm glad I did because once I started, I didn't want to stop. This is not only a deeply insightful memoir, written with emotional maturity, compassion and self-awareness, it is also a beautifully written story of a complex yet very relatable modern life and family. Christine uses language skillfully to evoke the inner and outer landscapes of her travels, and portrays her family with loving honesty and good humor. --Marianne Elliott, Author of Zen Under Fire: A Story of Love and Work in Afghanistan

Moving Water speaks to anyone facing the pain of ending or blending a family. One woman's intimate search for identity and a healing journey to love, acceptance and belonging. --Karen Maezen Miller, Author of Paradise in Plain Sight: Lessons from a Zen Garden

Moving Water is an honest and real look at relationships and family life with all of its joys and challenges. It inspires you to stay committed to relationships that matter, to be honest to your life's stories, and to put in the work to any relationship that is struggling. Christine is courageous in her storytelling and shows you how to hope and live with joy even if life doesn't go exactly as you had it planned! --Becky Eldredge, Author of Busy Lives & Restless Souls: How Prayer Can Help You Find the Missing Peace in Your Life
