"Seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash runs the household on her family's peach farm in the small ranch town of Iola, Colorado--the sole surviving female in a family of troubled men. Wilson Moon is a young drifter with a mysterious past, displaced from his tribal land and determined to live as he chooses. Victoria encounters Wil by chance on a street corner, a meeting that profoundly alters both of their young lives, unknowingly igniting as much passion as danger. When tragedy strikes, Victoria leaves the only life she has ever known. She flees into the surrounding mountains where she struggles to survive in the wilderness with no clear notion of what her future will bring. As the seasons change, she also charts the changes in herself, finding in the beautiful but harsh landscape the meaning and strength to move forward and rebuild all that she has lost, even as the Gunnison River threatens to submerge her homeland--its ranches, farms, and the beloved peach orchard that has been in her family for generations. Inspired by true events surrounding the destruction of the town of Iola in the 1960s, Go as a River is a story of deeply held love in the face of hardship and loss, but also of finding courage, resilience, friendship, and, finally, home--where least expected. This stunning debut explores what it means to lead your life as if it were a river--gathering and flowing, finding a way forward even when a river is dammed." -- various websites, dust jacket of an English edition"이 소설은 자신이 아무것도 아닌 줄만 알았던 열일곱 살 소녀가 사랑의 환희와 상실의 고통을 온몸으로 감내하는 번데기 시절을 거쳐 비로소 나비가 되는 이야기다. 뒤돌아보지 않는 자연에서 배운, 거스를 수 없는 회복력으로 살아내는 주인공은 끝내 누구도 빼앗을 수 없는 결실을 거머쥔다. 시대가 흘러도, 사는 곳이 달라도 변치 않는 진실과 가치가 있다. 인간이 발 딛고 사는 곳이라면 어디나 '흐르는 강물처럼 살라'는 말이 무엇을 뜻하는지 공통의 함의에 도달할 수 있다. 이 소설은 1970년대에 실제로 수몰지구가 되어 물속으로 사라진 콜로라도의 역사적 사건을 담고 있지만, 장소와 시간을 언제 어디로 바꾸어 보더라도 독자는 거기서 자기 삶의 편린을 발견할 수 있을 것이다. 언어가 바뀌어도 뜻이 통하는 '흐르는 강물처럼(Go as a River)'이라는 관용구처럼." -- various websites
