Into the Estuary

Joss Coleson hasn't touched a paddle since her brother drowned eighteen months ago—but his ashes are still in her freezer, and their estranged father's dying wish demands she carry them 380 miles down a wild river to the sea. Armed with a hand-drawn map that reveals a secret reconciliation she was never part of, Joss launches alone into spring floodwaters with five weeks before the canyons become unrunnable. The river doesn't care about her grief. It only cares about physics.
