Go as a River by Shelley Read: A Book Review

In this video, I share my thoughts on Go as a River, a stunning debut novel by Shelley Read that tells the story of Victoria Nash, a young woman who survives tragedy and finds hope in the Colorado wilderness. This book is a historical fiction, coming-of-age, and literary masterpiece that explores themes of love, loss, family, resilience, and home. If you’re looking for a book that will make you feel and think deeply, Go as a River is the one for you.
This beautifully written and emotionally resonant story follows Victoria Nash as she navigates the challenges of growing up in a small town that is being destroyed by a dam project. Along the way, she experiences love, loss, friendship, and betrayal, but she ultimately emerges as a strong and resilient woman who has found her place in the world.

Go as a River is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, coming-of-age stories, and sweeping dramas. It is a beautifully written and emotionally resonant novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
