“This delightfully enchanting river tale, full of woe and wonder, will keep you guessing what lives around the next bend. I often caught my breath at Susan Sage’s bright, lyrical writing.” -Milana Marsenich, author of Shed Girl
“You can always count on Susan Sage to create characters with a few fascinating flaws, interacting in a setting both realistic and mysterious, to keep you reading late into the night.” -Sandra Sperling, author of The Stash
“An amazing woman’s struggle to make sense of a world gone horribly wrong and a dose of magical realism combine to make a river voyage on the Silver Lady a trip worth taking.” -Gail Ward Olmsted, author of the Miranda Quinn Legal Twist series
“Close the door, turn off the TV, and send the kids to grandmas. Once you board the Silver Lady, you will find yourself on a surreal journey into a possible and not too distant future. Capt. Cassie Navrone skillfully steers us through a world damaged by our recent past in such a way as to give insight and hope. As she navigates the watery River Road, Cassie takes us on a deceptively slow ride on a river full of reflection, mystery, and mystique.” -Gin Coleman, author of Desert Brave
