This collection follows in the grand tradition of great river literature by exploring the relationships between people and rivers through a wide range of stories, including: a first descent of China Lancang River; the discovery of a stone goddess in a grotto on the Colorado River; a day-long attempt to land a salmon on a lightweight fly rod; a communion between father and son over the proper way to divert the river so the father can be buried beneath it when he dies; a baptism into the ways of nature and religion; a search for the source of the Seine in the hills of Burgundy.

Your river guides include:

- Terry Tempest Williams
- Barry Lopez
