— Cynthia Lim, Author of Wherever you are: A memoir of love, marriage, and brain injury.
“Rafting through remote Alaska with the ghost of your best friend - Barusch takes us deep into troubled waters. Read this when you have wanderlust. Read it when you’re thinking about leaving your husband. ”
— Kit Hodge, author of Fairy Tales With Killer Shoes
“Barusch’s finely etched characters confront the fragility of life and the persistence of grief as they raft through the Alaska wilderness. This story gives us a vivid glimpse into loss, adventure, love and hope.”
