River-Lations Revisited Patty Mondore

Patty Mondore's weekly River-Lations columns in the Thousand Islands Sun Vacationer have been inspiring the summer guests and year-round residents for over a decade with her river-related stories, fun-loving adventures, and nature photography. She released the first volume of River-Lations in book form, in 2011 and it became a Gold-Mountain best seller. River-Lations Revisited includes 36 more of Patty's favorite articles. Each chapter takes the reader on a visit to the lovely Thousand Islands area that the Native Americans once referred to as Manitoanna or "Garden of the Great Spirit." Patty shares her adventures in her kayak, her encounters with wildlife and not-so-wildlife, nature facts, and other river history and trivia. Each chapter is accompanied by one of Patty's river photos. She concludes each story with a short biblically-based devotional that is sure to inspire her fellow river rats as well as anyone else who loves the river and its Creator.
