Beautiful, tragic, uplifting: Run like the river is a heart-wrenching coming-of-age novel about female strength and indomitability set against the grandiose backdrop of America's nature.
1948, Iola, Colorado: On a cool fall morning, 17-year-old Victoria Nash is heading toward town with her rickety handcart loaded with the season’s last peaches. As she approaches a street corner, an enigmatic young man with a sooty face and raven eyes stops her to ask for directions. She could have turned left or crossed the road. But she doesn’t. “Run like the river,” he whispers.
Thus begins Shelley Read's startling debut about a young woman's turbulent life, from her betrayed escape from her family farm into the mountains and wilderness, to tragedy striking and her attempt to reclaim everything she has lost. Run Like the River is an epic tale of love and betrayal, motherhood and sisterhood, and above all a magnificent historical novel about a single woman's struggle to forge her own path through life - and find love where you least expect it.
