Bookish Trailblazers is where thrill-seekers unite to conquer the wild world of books. Each month we delve into stories and narratives that transport us around the world to new breathtaking locations.
Join us as we travel back in time to mid-century Colorado with Shelley Read's book "Go as a River". Victoria is a 17 year-old girl living on a Colorado Peach Farm in 1978. One day while returning to her village, she encounters a disheveled stranger and her life is never the same again. This story is based on true events in the 1960s when the town of Lola was destroyed by the creation of Blue Mesa Reservoir. "Go as a River" creates a rich world of history and drama all within the breathtaking and familiar beauty of the Colorado mountains.
