From the author of The Abortionist's Daughter, a gripping new book in regards to a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon that changes the lives of everybody on board.Meet Peter, 27, sole, and buying quick hookup; Evelyn, a 50-year-old Harvard professor; and Ruth and Lloyd, river veterans in their 70s. There's Mitchell, an overeager record buff with no qualms about upstaging the manuals with his knowledge. There's Jill from Salt Lake City, looking frantically to spark some sense of excitement in her staid Mormon family. And there's 17-year-old Amy, so woefully chubby that she can barely match a puppy tent, aside from into a life jacket. Guiding all of them is JT Maroney, who enjoys the river with all his heart and soul and who, having made 124 prior travels down the Colorado, thinks he has seen everything. But on their first night, a stray dog wanders into their campsite, upsetting the tentative equilibrium of this makeshift family.Over the next 13 times, as various decisions are second-guessed and sometimes regretted, both individuals and guides discover that sometimes the most daunting adventures on the Colorado River trip have nothing to do with white-water rapids, and everything regarding reconfiguring the rocky canyons of the heart and soul.
