Go As a River by Shelley Read

Victoria Nash——the sole surviving female in a family of troubled men—runs the household on her family’s peach farm in Iola, Colorado. Wilson Moon is a young drifter, displaced from his tribal land and determined to live as he chooses.

Victoria encounters Wil by chance, a meeting that alters both of their lives. When tragedy strikes, Victoria flees into the mountains where she struggles to survive. As the seasons change, she also charts the changes in herself, finding the strength to rebuild all that she has lost.

Inspired by true events surrounding the destruction of the town of Iola in the 1960s, Go as a River is a story of love in the face of hardship, but also of finding resilience, friendship and, finally, home.
