A magnetic debut collection of stories about the daily lives and labors of girls and women in rural America.

In Call Up the Waters, the natural world is an escape hatch, a refuge, a site of work, and an occasional antagonist. In the title story, a devastating drought leads a mother of two deep into the Colorado Rockies in search of water. In The Handler, a woman leaves her boyfriend for the New Hampshire woods and fifty-seven sled dogs. A distress call from a boat in Massachusetts Bay compels a mother, in Sea Women, to plumb her daughter's secrets. A girl torn between truth and expectation shows her courage in a funereal performance in Barn Burning. And in Bending the Map, a woman turns the tables on her obsessive, would-be lover after a powerful storm ravages her canyon home.
