I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I don’t know what magic the Iowa Writer’s Workshop has harnessed, but their graduates are some of the most pure and brilliant writers working today. Heller is one of those gems.

Written as a field guide to demonstrate practical examples of river types, and to highlight the pressures they experience and their often-parlous condition, this book is intended to better inform both river management approaches and the policy necessary to achieve this. Fundamentally, the authors seek to demonstrate how the hydrological, geomorphological, and ecological functions of rivers and their catchments are inexorably intertwined, and together how they generate and maintain rivers as dynamic entities. Connor Danson finds himself uprooted from Sacramento after inadvertently witnessing a violent crime. With the trial looming, he seeks refuge in the quiet mountain town of Virgin River, carrying emotional burdens and a guarded demeanor.Katie Malone’s journey to Virgin River is disrupted by a flat tire and unfavourable weather. Struggling to change the tyre and with hungry children in tow, Katie is relieved when a group of bikers offers assistance.

In the farthest distance, over the trees, was an orange glow.”

But, whatever he does I'm in for the next adventure.
