Inséparables, Bread et Fish ont dix ans et passent leur été dans la poussière des champs du Wisconsin. Ils vivraient dans une parfaite insouciance, sans la figure violente du père de Bread qui terrorise le garçon. Un jour, au comble du désespoir, Fish décide de protéger son ami : un coup de revolver, et les gamins s'enfuient se croyant meurtriers. Ils se hâtent de rassembler du matériel, des provisions, et s'enfoncent dans l'immense forêt voisine. Construire un radeau, promesse de liberté, les expose immédiatement aux dangers réels de la traversée. Pendant ce temps, le grand-père de Fish et le shérif se lancent à leur recherche. Chacun devra faire son propre voyage en pleine nature pour affronter ses doutes et secourir les plus vulnérables.

From the author of Raft of Stars comes a heartfelt novel of marriage and whitewater rafting, following one couple as they navigate the changing currents of family, community, and the river itself.As the summer of 1993 begins, Sam and Swami Brecht roll into town with a twenty-six-foot Winnebago camper van, their three young kids, and the deed to Woodchuck Rafting Company. Sam and Swami met as young, adventurous river guides but, a decade later, find themselves weighed down by money worries and the demands of adulthood. The town of Thunderwater, in Wisconsin''s Northwoods, could be the fresh start their marriage needs. But Woodchuck, once the property of Sam''s eccentric uncle, has seen better days and will need a serious overhaul if it is going to stand a chance at survival.Soon Sam and Swami learn they are not the only ones looking for change and profit on the river. A competing rafting outfit, clashing raft guides, stubborn townsfolk, and an exploratory mining company begin to threaten their tenuous livelihood. Then nature intervenes, in the form of historic floods throughout the Midwest. Amid tumultuous currents both on and off the river, Sam and Swami struggle to maintain the new life they''ve built. Before the summer draws to a close, the Brechts must learn to face the floodwaters together in order to create a sustainable future for their family, the town, and the pristine river from which it all flows.
