Review “Daily demands so often lead us astray from what we care about most. Looking Through Water calls us back. With wit and wisdom, Bob Rich reminds us that a conversation held on the open water is analogous to life—a little solitude on the surface is just what we need to ponder its depth.” —Sandy Moret, Florida Keys Outfitters“Everyone who is or has a son, daughter, father, or grandfather will see parts of themselves and their families in this beautifully crafted book. I love the way Bob Rich weaves multiple coming of age stories together in a clear and touching way.” —Robert Nutting, Chairman of the Board, Pittsburgh Pirates“Looking Through Water is a powerful novel of male bonding and fractured relationships. The journey through water and fly fishing is one of forgiveness for three generations of men; a father, a son and finally a grandson. In his fast moving narrative, Bob Rich asks us to consider the trappings of a material life and the healing forces of the sea.” —Susannah Marren, author of Between the Tides “This is a moving story of self-discovery and redemption which climaxes in a superbly told fishing-tournament off the Florida Keys. It is at once an adventure, a meditation on what it means to be a man, and a magnificent novel.” —Bernard Cornwell, author of The Last Kingdom“As with any great work of fiction, Bob Rich’s Looking Through Water is really about a profound truth. In this case, that truth is about family—about fathers and sons, and grandfathers and grandsons—and the sometimes stormy seas that must be navigated to find a safe harbor.” —Monte Burke, author of Saban: The Making of a Coach“At the same time a gripping, fast-paced, hard-to-put-down fishing adventure story, and a wise, big-hearted look at four generations of father/son relationships. The result is nothing less than one hell of a good read!” —Charles Gaines, author and outdoorsman

Looking Through Water reminds me of the life lessons that are passed from good men to their sons. Bob Rich's novel touches in ways you may not expect. Relationships between multi-generational family members collide in this wonderful read, staged in the wilderness that is the Florida Keys and beyond. You'll see from the watering holes, where you learn about " the nice little drinking village, that has a serious fishing problem, to the shark infested waters of the big city and the beautiful ocean flats, that when you feel that tug at the end of your line that it may not be a fish. It may be a tug at your heart and soul, instead.Well done! Can't wait for your next one!

A quick and deeply satisfying read, no matter who you are By Amazon Customer I grew up with a fanatical fly fisherman for a father, who turned me on to to Looking Through Water. Reading it brought right back to all those long days we spent together on those sunny flats in the Keys and it was truly a treasure to be whisked back to that world I remember so fondly. I could almost taste the salt air and feel the sunburn on the back of my neck as I I became enthralled with the characters and the familiar world they inhabit. The way they talk, the mantras they live by, the passion with which they pursue their elusive catch, it all rang so very true to the memories I have of that place. At first glance, one might assume that it's a simply a manly tale, told through generations of men; but as a daughter of this almost secret and certainly unruly sporting tradition, there is so much to appreciate in the richness of the characters and their relationships with each other. Having been a tangential part of the world the Rich's characters inhabit, I not only found tremendous comfort in the authenticity of their interactions but also felt I could actually learn quite a bit about the tradition and history that has enthralled my father for as long as I can remember. And aside from my own personal connection to the esoteric world that provides the setting for this story, I could not help but find deep connection to the underlying motifs of complex personal and family histories and the residues of regret and self doubt that often punctuate our human condition. I can't imagine a single soul out there that can't relate to these things. The characters let us in, and in turn the reader get a glimpse not only of the universality of these themes but also of the redemption that can come from reconciling our demons.

By Donald Arthurson After I finished reading Looking Through Water, it made me miss the all too few days spent fishing with my father all that much more. Bob Rich transports you not just to the Florida Keys, but into the middle of a family situation that is all too familiar in these days of social media addiction and multi generational disconnection. He shows that fishing IS the great unifier and healer. How ironic that he is donating all of the proceeds from this book to Project Healing Waters.I hope that he keeps writing, because I look forward to reading his next book!
