We had a great time interviewing author Brian Hester about the book he co-authored with Barbara Beam, She Talks to Fish! More than just a couple of martinis and a bourbon -- we covered everything from how his role as a teacher influenced this story to what it takes to be a writer.
About She Talks to Fish:
SHE TALKS TO FISH is a story about a young lady navigating her life’s path that
centers around fly fishing and its unforgiving fortunes. Along the voyage, the faith of
Maya’s childhood is galvanized by the spiritual and practical lessons gleaned from her
American Indian friends and her own experiences. Maya’s and Ed’s lives will forever be
tethered with a bond of mutual rescuers as Ed saves her, and she saves him, both
literally and figuratively. The life cycle thread between Ed and Maya is captured in none
other than what lies beneath the rivers’ surfaces and the beautiful creatures that occupy
those spaces. Fish are her counsel and through the extension of a fly rod, Maya finds
her place as She Talks to Fish.
If you are looking for an exciting book that encourages hope, then SHE TALKS TO
FISH is the book for you. When the human condition is no match for the human spirit,
resolute survival is the only option. Maya Jones is a survivor--- a survivor who talks to
fish.
