Patty Mondore's weekly River-Lations column in the Thousand Islands Sun Vacationer has inspired the summer guests and year-round residents with her River-related stories and breathtaking photography. River-Lations includes 30 of Patty's favorite articles along with several previously unpublished stories. Each chapter takes the reader on a visit to the lovely Thousand Islands area that the Native Americans once referred to as Manitoanno or "Garden of the Great Spirit."
