The Way of the River My Journey of Fishing, Forgiveness and Spiritual Recovery
The Way of the River is a collection of memoirs and autobiographical stories that reflect Randy Kadish's long journey of fly fishing and spiritual recovery. The journey, often difficult, often gratifying, began when he finally admitted to himself that he could not communicate, and that his life had become unmanageable. Then, after he asked for help, he looked back into his life and relived the deep pain and loss that began during his very traumatic childhood. To soothe himself with the beauty of the outdoors, he turned to fishing. As he struggled to come to terms with his past, and then with the loss of his parents, he wrote about his journey of recovery, especially of how he was made better by many of the people he met along the way, like Carlos, a friendly immigrant and skilled bait fisherman who seemingly appeared out of nowhere and then helped Randy see people in a more sympathetic light.

Soon Randy's memoirs soon appeared in many publications including, The FlyFisher, FlyFishing & Tying Journal, and Yale Anglers' Journal.

Finally, after an unexpected crisis, he found a surprising way to forgive and to connect to the good in the world.

The fishing in this collection takes place in and near New York City, including the streams of Westchester, the East and Hudson Rivers, and the lakes of Central and Prospect Parks.
