Résumé

What would you do given the chance to disappear? The chance to start a new life. Probably not what David did. Trying to save their marriage, David and Susan Brooks canoe into the wilderness, but it was already over before the trip began. The canoe capsizes leaving them stranded on opposite sides of the river - each believing the other dead. David discovers that his wife survived. But he decides not to reveal himself to her.
Susan must remake herself into a new person. While she copes, David starts anew. But can anyone ever really start over? While Susan grows, he craves redemption. Who do you blame for this failed journey?Praise for "Where the River Splits""The journey to the end of the novel is never boring. The scenes set in rural Wyoming feature the geography as much as the characters. Locales in Canada and Mexico also figure into the plot.

As an experienced broacasat producer, I think this book would make an excellent movie script!- Dan Dillion, TV producer, So, Where'd You Go To High School?A solidly written and well-structured thriller.
