. Acclaim for The Big Tide:Heberden paints a portrait of American wants, values, and ideals in this contemporary literary novel. The point of view shifts from chapter to chapter, lending insight into each character as they move around each other in an intricate dance of wants, needs, and secrets. There is an exquisite balance of character study and conflict as the scenes intertwine. Readers will be richly rewarded with a complex and engrossing read about the building of a boat. -- Four Stars: Kirkus Reviews
The building of a boat is the intriguing setting for the rich man, the drunk hunk, the sexy secretary, the grumpy vet, the sly coed, the goddess, and the wife.

An excellent conclusion with an unlikely victor and skilled omission of the obvious. This writing is so rich that it's tempting to read aloud. The story has the unique quality recommending it to both men and women. -- bayberry
