Little Lost River

This book is little known and is by a new author. I have to admit the only reason why I read the book is it is by an old college professor of mine. I took an advanced composition class with her and never got to read her own writing. They always say those who can't do teach. Well whoever said that didn't read this book. I honestly couldn't put the book down, and have recommended to several other people. I don't want to give to much away, so I wont say much more. But this is a book worth adding to any bookshelf. It's a great story of two female friends who go through life changing situations together.
Here's the description of off amazon.com:
" Set in Boise, Idaho in the early 1980’s, Little Lost River is the story of two young women who come together in the wake of tragedy. Cindy Morgan is still reeling from the loss of her mother when an accident leaves her boyfriend missing and presumed drowned. When Frances Rogers happens upon the accident site, she stays with Cindy until help arrives. In the aftermath of that night’s events, as Cindy faces her future with a determination often misunderstood as indifference, Frances becomes her source of both support and compassion.
Cindy and Frances are determined to find their own lives unencumbered by conventional expectations, but their path to adulthood is neither easy nor clear, and the future that each girl finds is not what she expected or planned. One generation follows another, and in the end the girls learn that life moves on its own path, that 'transformation is what takes you forward. It’s the only constant thing.'"
