Born in West Texas in 1981, Mitchell Ford’s passion for storytelling began with the tales shared by his maternal grandfather and the poems penned by his mother during his formative years. Inspired early on, he embarked on his first writing endeavor at the tender age of ten. Beyond writing novels, Mitchell channels his creativity into crafting songs and scripts, a pursuit he relishes during leisure moments. An avid enthusiast of live productions, he also finds joy in occasional engagements with theater and live music performances.
At the heart of “Reason for the Lake” is nineteen-year-old Aires Caredana, who learns she has a long-lost sister, Luna. With this revelation, nineteen-year-old Aires Caredana is to welcome her long-lost sibling to her family home. However, Luna is gravely ill, and no one knows how to treat her mysterious illness.
“Over two hundred years had now passed after the construction of the villa in which the Caredana family lived,” writes Ford. “The villa and, adjacent to this, a lake, were well renowned. Nobody knew whether to believe or dismiss accounts of healing from this water. They were abundant and could easily be heard.
“Luna would soon be there. She knew absolutely nothing of this reputed river.
“Aires was preparing to leave and had little time to stay with her sister, Luna. Their parents were sure Luna would not be long with them. A perhaps two-acre river just could be the resolution to an issue, which had plagued this family for eighteen years.”
