"M Jackson is a linguistic sorcerer, making you fall in love by proxy with the geological memory-keepers."―Foreword Reviews nonfiction review of The Secret Life of Glaciers

On the verge of losing everything, Ruth Harper, recently widowed and struggling with alcoholism meets a mysterious man named Silas who helps Ruth discover a rare ice cave on her property in Burnt Bay, Alaska that changes the course of Ruth's life forever. When Ruth posts images of the ice on social media and it goes viral, tourists arrive at Ruth's farm gate clamoring to see the ice cave before it melts. As Ruth's relationship with Silas deepens and dark secrets surrounding her husband's death begin to surface, Ruth must choose to take an unprecedented gamble and harness her life to a glacier whose future is just as uncertain as her own. Ice to Water is both a celebration of resilience against persistent loss and a reminder that in order to find ourselves we must face terrifying truths.
