Paradox Lake of Memory
By: Kate Johns Walton
A memoir about a fascinating lake in the Adirondack Mountains and how its complex geological origins and eclectic social history impacted a family's life, Paradox Lake of Memory is also about how gender shapes history.
Delving into Paradox Lake's billion-year-old origins, its pre-colonial history, and raising up its Mohawk back story, within is a tale of great privilege, great loss, and serendipitous discovery.
Celebrate the women who made significant contributions to its historical development, especially a place known as Camp Nawita, a marvelous sanctuary for Jewish girls built in 1925 that morphed into a family compound still thriving today.
