Grand Ambition |

"An absorbing, affecting, and beautifully written novel." — New York Times |

Grand Ambition tells the tale of two young newlyweds, Glen and Bessie Hyde, who set out in 1928 to run the rapids of the Grand Canyon. The pair hoped to set a record: Bessie would be the first woman to face that treacherous stretch of the Colorado River. When they failed to arrive at their destination on time, Glen's father mounted a desperate search to find them. Based on the few known facts of a true story, Grand Ambition is a portrait of a new marriage, tested by a great physical threat, and a meditation on the power of youthful passion. |
