FLOOD is a magical incantation with chiseled prose that cuts to the bone--bright, sharp, and thirst-quenching; I couldn't get enough. Kalafus delivers a memoir of motherhood, medicine, and making it work by any means necessary--showing us that even when the waters rise, the flood itself may carry us forward. --Adrian Shirk: author of And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy, an NPR Best Book FLOOD is a brave book and a necessary one. --Michael Klein: Lambda Award Author of When I was a Twin Christine is pregnant with twins and reeling from her husband's affair when her right breast engages in a mutiny. Delivering identical boys and a tumor on the same day, she believes the worst is over. Until the natural spring under her house -- what the neighborhood kids call The Witch House -- begins to rise. Desperate for solid ground, Christine's desire for wisdom sweeps everything in its path--her parents' memories of the historic flood of 1955 that devastated Connecticut's upper and lower Housatonic River Valley, the impossible expectations of modern motherhood, and a chilling brush with medical gaslighting --reminding us that when the stakes include certain death, they cannot get any higher.
