About the Book
Picking up where its predecessorthe bestselling On the Looseleft off, this reflection revisits the physical and spiritual terrain that shaped two brothers lives. Consumed by a passion to fully experience the western wilderness and to navigate untamedand unpredictablewaterways, Terry and Renny Russell set out to travel down the Green River in Utah. Several miles into the journey, their raft doubles over. Terry perishes, and after washing up on the beach, Renny embarks upon what is to become a nearly four-decade-long odyssey to understand how he came to be the sole survivor and how to fully connect with his brothers spirit. Interweaving the past and present, this vibrantly illustrated meditation documents the metamorphosis of Rennys psyche, the natural environment that has sustained him, and ultimately his redemption.
