MEDIA REVIEWS
'Shelley Read's lyrical voice is a force of nature. Tragic, uplifting and completely unforgettable.' - Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in chemistry
'A lush, beautiful, strong book. It took me on such a transformative life journey. I could not put it down.' - Clover Stroud
'Completely spellbinding, vivid, and luminous.' - Jane Green
'Go As a River delivers so very much: the tenderness and curiosity of young love, the eternal pangs of loss, the brutality of racism, the sustaining power of nature and the miracle of a mother's love. Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering testimony to life is to be savored, treasured, shared.' - Meg White Clayton, author of The Postmistress of Paris
