April Chandler wakes up one ordinary Saturday morning to find her apartment flooded and lukewarm lake water sloshing over her bed. She can’t imagine a worse predicament. After being caught in an Atlantic riptide during childhood, April is terrified of deep water. 

Option one is a full-blown panic attack. Option two requires her to put her three dogs and her parakeet into a rickety rowboat and paddle to dry land. But along the way she must also rescue a lost cat and a stranded neighbor, who is accompanied by an ornery dog. Can April row everyone to safety without capsizing a rickety rowboat? Will her unexpected gift with animals keep the passengers calm?

 

In this Mystic Water Series short story, April learns that blessings can come out of devastating circumstances. Companion piece to A Slice of Courage Quiche (Mystic Water Book 3).
