A Year Without Time

By Cate Allen

Book Overview

"No, no, no, that's not how it happened--" I said to my daughter over and over and over. Seems that we each had different views, learned different lessons, and saw different vistas during our year-long expedition following the Lewis and Clark route down the Missouri River in canoes. We've told the story so many times, given so many talks, that finally, we decided just to write it all down, differences and all. In fact, we think one's unique views are the quintessence of adventure. We wrote separately, one in New Jersey, one in Arkansas, not reading the other's words until we'd finished writing our own chapter. We set deadlines, and e-mailed our finished chapters on the stroke of midnight, eager to read what the other had experienced. In the process, somewhere along the way, we fell in love all over again. With the river, with the river towns, with our crew, and with each other. We hope you use A Year Without Time as the jumping off point into your secret dream.

A Life Without Limits

Cate and Jen and the rest of the crew show us how to say "yes" to life and our hearts. Through their evolution in the course of their journey, we see the possibility to embrace our own dreams and have the courage to live them. The revelations and lessons they share with us as they make their way down the river, and even while deciding to take the trip, have value and applicability for us wherever we are in our own journeys...
