Curator's Note:

Linnea treats Lake Superior not just as a setting, but as a mirror for her own midlife reckoning. Navigating 1,200 miles in a 17-foot kayak, she documents the exact point where physical exhaustion gives way to spiritual clarity. It is a visceral, salt-and-spray account of what happens when a woman chooses to confront the greatest of the Great Lakes to find out who she is when the shore disappears.
