17 Days

By Joan Klengler

She hid in the dark, like a frightened child. Except that when she'd been a child, she had never had anything to hide from, never had anything to fear. She had been safe. ******It came out of nowhere. Totally unexpected, unimaginable. Maybe if he had had even a little doubt, it wouldn't have been so bad. But there it was, one moment everything was just as he believed it was. The next, it was all turned around. Five words that changed his world forever. And as bad as it was, it would become even worse although he couldn't have imagined it at the time.This is the beginning of the story of Kimmy and Matthew, two people profoundly damaged by their pasts, thrown together on a canoe trip down the Colorado River. It is a trip that will change their lives.From their rescue of the little dog Tachi to their meetings with myriad people, each with his or her own story to tell, it is a sort of road movie, with equal parts tears and laughter, love and adventure.17 Days - long enough to live a lifetime or to begin again.
