Welcome

13 days on 1 breathtaking, bad-ass river: life will never be the same.

My new novel, In The Heart Of The Canyon (Knopf), will go on sale July 14. I hope you’ll enjoy reading this literary adventure as much as I enjoyed writing it.

So what’s it about? Well, take 15 people with 15 different agendas. Pile them into 3 rubber rafts and send them off down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.

Critical acclaim…

An astute, engrossing character-driven affair … The novel succeeds as both a study of strangers striving toward a common goal and as a suspenseful drama filled with angst and humanity. Hyde outshines herself with this wild ride.
