We are pleased to introduce Teresa Janssen to the Readings Gallery! Join us in welcoming her as she presents her captivating coming-of-age novel, The Ways of Water. This beautifully written book takes readers on a remarkable journey through the life of a young woman, whose world is deeply affected by the events of her time. Set in the early twentieth-century Southwest, where water is of utmost importance, The Ways of Water is a touching and inspiring testament to the power of family and the resilience of the human spirit.

In this expertly crafted work, Teresa H. Janssen skillfully transports readers back in time to the world of her grandmother, Josie Belle Gore. Drawing inspiration from the rivers, creeks, and streams that flow through the land, Janssen masterfully recreates the untamed beauty of the region, as well as the challenges and hardships faced by those who lived there. Through the eyes of a young girl growing into a strong woman, Janssen pays tribute to her grandmother, highlighting her courage and triumphs as she forges her own path in the American Southwest.

Teresa Janssen's own experiences have greatly influenced her writing. Born on the banks of the Columbia River in eastern Washington state and raised on the shores of Puget Sound, she has drawn inspiration from her diverse background. With a background in history and French, as well as an M.A. in Linguistics, Janssen brings a depth of knowledge to her work. Having taught language and social studies for over twenty years, she has worked in refugee camps, higher education, and public high schools. Currently residing in Port Townsend, WA, with her husband and their four children, Janssen now devotes her time to writing, hiking, tending to her orchard, and participating in various educational initiatives.
