When a moment changes everything, how do you live the rest of your life?

It is 1940s, Colorado. Young Victoria Nash is the sole surviving woman in a family of troubled men, and she runs the household on her family’s peach farm.

Wilson Moon is a young drifter with a mysterious past, displaced from his tribal land, who wants to believe one place is just like another.

When Victoria and Wil meet on a street corner, their unexpected connection ignites as much passion as danger and as many revelations as secrets.

Tragedy strikes and Victoria flees into the beautiful but harsh wilderness of the nearby mountains. Struggling to survive in unforgiving conditions, with no clear notion of what her future will be, she is forced to make a decision that will change the course of her life forever .

Go as a River is a sweeping, unforgettable story of finding home, family, resilience - and love - where you least expect it.

’Go As a River delivers so very much: the tenderness and curiosity of young love, the eternal pangs of loss, the brutality of racism, the sustaining power of nature and the miracle of a mother’s love. Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering testimony to life must be savored, treasured, shared’ MEG WAITE CLAYTON, author of The Postmistress of Paris
