ABOUT THE BOOK
You Can't Outrun the Sins of Your Past
Desperate to forget what happened to him in Iraq, Tyler Perkins flees to the emptiness of Wyoming. He's here to escape and also to fulfill a long-ago promise by accompanying his 86-year-old friend Soren Andeman on a fly-fishing trip--once more for old time's sake. But their trek to an idyllic trout lake soon becomes something more deeply harrowing--a journey that uncovers long-held lies, deadly crimes, and the buried secrets of the past. Ty barely has time to contemplate the question of what constitutes justice when nature unleashes her own revenge. Trapped in a race back to safety, he must face his own guilt-ridden past or risk being consumed.
Powerfully imagined by the acclaimed author of In High Places, Wind River is an engaging wilderness adventure that explores the power of confession, the beauty of forgiveness, and the freedom of truth unveiled.

My Review: I loved this book. It is different than most of the books I read. It is definitely a guy book but this girl appreciated it too. It is a good story that is well written. I loved the beautiful descriptions of the natural environment Soren and Ty explore together. This story seems slow but you move right along with it sweeping through. It is a wonderful novel of peace, grace, and forgiveness. I highly recommend it for women and men.
