Confluence by Zak Podmore

Podmore navigates the loss of his mother to cancer while flowing down the rivers of the American West. During his childhood, Podmore’s parents introduced him to the desert and these imperiled rivers and his mother’s presence is deeply embedded in his perceptions of the economic, racial, and ecological issues surrounding these rivers. This book is philosophical and melancholic.
