Book excerpt: Desolation Canyon is one of the West's wild treasures. Visitors come to study, explore, run the river, and hike a canyon that is deeper at its deepest than the Grand Canyon, better preserved than most of the Colorado River system, and full of eye-catching geology-castellated ridges, dramatic walls, slickrock formations, and lovely beaches. Rafting the river, one may see wild horses, blue herons, bighorn sheep, and possibly a black bear. Signs of previous people include the newsworthy, well-preserved Fremont Indian ruins along Range Creek and rock art panels of Nine Mile Canyon, both Desolation Canyon tributaries. Historic Utes also pecked rock art, including images of graceful horses and lively locomotives, in the upper canyon. Remote and difficult to access, Desolation has a surprisingly lively history. Cattle and sheep herding, moonshine, prospecting, and hideaways brought a surprising number of settlers--ranchers, outlaws, and recluses--to the canyon.

Book excerpt: The River Knew is a faith-based love story about a woman who faces serious rejection issues. She embarks on a nine-month journey in search of answers to where she belongs on the family tree. This leads her to move close to a cousin who always loved and accepted her. In her search, some harrowing discoveries are revealed that break her open and send her running to the river to escape reality. There she encounters a destitute soul, who in an instant, changes the course of her life. On a hunch, the woman puts her issues aside and embraces this stranger who had one unanswered question about life and desperately needed an answer. She gave to that stranger exactly what she needed herself: compassion and acceptance. At the end of her nine-month journey, she has the answers she was seeking and an abundance of the compassion and acceptance that she gave her destitute friend. Her journey proves that at some points in life, you must demolish what is not working and rebuild what you truly want. Magic Happens When You Follow Your Hunches! About the Author June A.
