How many people actually end up living where they have always dreamed with the person who shares the same dream and discovered it to be beyond expectation?  This book celebrates that place: through the mountains and desert, a mighty river flows with  all the creatures it nurtures: in poems and pictures of love, elation, violence and loss. Each season unfolds and brings respite and renewal as people, flora,  fauna and  fish negotiate to survive and thrive with, and in spite of, one another.
