In the heart of the Canyon

Peter, twenty-seven and unemployed, embarks on this journey to avoid his family, while Evelyn, a fifty-year-old biology professor, comes in search of a more visceral life. Ruth and Lloyd, veteran white-water rafters in their seventies, know they will never make this trip again. Jill, a stay-at-home mother with her husband and two boys in tow, craves the luxury of relinquishing control and following someone else's rules. Mitchell and his wife, Lena, are re-creating a historic river journey undertaken years before. Seventeen-year-old Amy Van Doren and her mother set off on this journey expecting little, especially from each other; together they will face the most daunting journey of all, one that has nothing to do with whitewater rapids.

For the next two weeks, his twelve passengers will paddle, swim and ride the rapids, sleep under the stars and breathe in the drama of the landscape. And as allegiances form, often between unlikely members of the group, their connections constantly change and evolve in the most unpredictable ways. They soon learn all about each other, more perhaps than they ever wanted to know ..."
