Colleen Miniuk has written an interesting and reflective story of navigating life's hardships. As a self-proclaimed perfectionist she was devastated when her marriage ended in divorce. To cope with the loss, she and her mom undertook a paddleboard journey along the Colorado River.

Minuik shares with us what she learned on her journey and how she learned from nature to persevere through life's struggles. I really enjoyed her journey and I love books about the Colorado and the desert landscapes of the Southwest.

Some sections are a little long-winded and feel a little bit like lectures, but overall this was an engaging read and will surely help anyone who is going through similar struggles.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced readers copy. This book was reminiscent of my favorite adventure books. Any woman who loves the outdoors will find it engaging and insightful.
