Her life was idyllic, growing up in a trailer park on the banks of the Snake River with a stepfather she loved, a new baby brother, and the river as her companion--until her mother suddenly took up a radical new lifestyle, becoming someone Bridget barely recognized. The one constant in her life--the place Bridget felt whole and fully herself--was the river. When she discovered the world of whitewater rafting, she knew she'd found her calling. On the river, Bridget learned to read the natural world around her and came to know the language of rivers. One of the few female guides on the Snake River, she then traveled to the Zambezi River in Africa, some of the most dangerous whitewater in the world, where she faced death and learned to conquer her fears--both on the water and off. The river taught her how to overcome years of betrayals and abuse, to trust herself, and, finally, how to help heal her family from generational cycles of trauma and poverty.". 20250715.
