A lyrical companion to his father’s classic, A River Runs through It, chronicling their family’s history and bond with Montana’s Blackfoot River.” —Washington Post A "poetic" and "captivating" (Publishers Weekly) memoir about the power of place to shape generations, Home Waters is John N. Maclean's remarkable chronicle of his family's century-long love affair with Montana's majestic Blackfoot River, the setting for his father's classic novella, A River Runs through It.

Welcome to change, the John Maclean way I've had a lot of change in my life since the accident that led to my paraplegia over 30 years ago. And although I wasn't completely aware of it at the time, I can now look back to where it all began and see that I've developed a methodology for managing change that has helped me conquer the challenges I've been drawn to throughout my life. I believe that in this time of fear and disruption, when so many of us are facing an uncertain and turbulent future, my methodology could help you to embrace the new. Many of us have internal conversations, discussions with ourselves, constantly throughout each day. These conversations can sometimes be counterproductive and limit our ability to move forward. I hope the insights I've gathered in this book will help readers commit to changing the conversation and embracing a more supportive internal dialogue.
