In November 1928, one year after Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic, a pair of young newlyweds set out to run the rapids of the Grand Canyon in a homemade boat. Swept up by America s obsession with feats of daring, Glen and Bessie Hyde hoped to set a record - she would be the first woman to run that treacherous stretch of the Colorado River. A month later they vanished without a trace. Based on the few known facts of Bessie and Glen Hyde s story and deftly braiding the account of the young lovers journey with Glen s father s desperate efforts to find them, Lisa Michaels creates a tale of inexorable suspense: a meditation on the line between risk and recklessness, and the passions that drive us to them.
