About The Depth of Water:
Hours after her father drowns, Liesel Drummond sees him in a vision. In it, her father touches the child within her womb and vanishes.
Years later, Liesel’s son, Owen, is haunted by an inexplicable fear of water. When he falls into a pool at the tender age of eight, something shifts within him. Owen is plagued by horrific night terrors, clawing at the air as if trying to swim to safety, gasping for air, coughing up water, reaching for an unseen lifeline, and choking on phantom waves. As Liesel witnesses her son’s mental and physical well-being deteriorate, her anxiety mounts, but it reaches a breaking point when Owen starts recounting memories of being the parent when Liesel was the child. Convinced her father’s soul has been reincarnated within Owen, Liesel embarks on a desperate quest for answers.
Liesel’s mother’s health is failing, and their relationship is strained at the best of times, adding another layer of complexity to her life. With nowhere else to turn, Liesel seeks out Carson Knox, an expert in reincarnation and the transmigration of souls, but discovering that Owen has indeed been reincarnated is only the beginning. The true challenge lies in freeing her father’s soul from her son’s, forcing Liesel to confront the unfathomable depths of water, both literal and metaphorical.
The Depth of Water will transport you to a world where the past and present intertwine, exploring themes of family, loss, and the power of love. Prepare to embark on a suspenseful journey that will leave you questioning the boundaries of life and the ties that bind us all.
