The author of The Comfort Table cookbook series makes her fiction
debut with a compelling novel in the tradition of Gigi Levangie
Grazer about a young woman recovering from divorce who finds
healing-and love-through surfing. A butterfly flaps its win gs in
New Y ork City . . . and a groundswell forms in Mexico. Sometimes
the biggest ripples come from the smallest events. Like the day
that novice PA Emma Guthrie walks into world-famous movie star
Garrett Walker's trailer. When she walks out, she's on her way to
becoming Mrs. Emma Walker, trading her jeans and flip-flops for
closets full of Chanel and the start of a successful screenwriting
career. But when an incriminating text message throws her marriage
into question, Emma flees New York City for a sleepy coastal town
in Mexico. Here, she meets gorgeous, California-born Ben, who
teaches her about the healing powers of surfing, shows her the joys
of the simple life, and opens her up to the possibility of love. An
irresistible insider's glimpse into a glittering world, Katie Lee's
debut novel is a captivating story about how losing everything you
thought you wanted can be the first step to finding what you need.
David Brower, who has always regretted the Sierra Club's failure to
save the Glen Canyon, called it The Place No One Knew. But Katie
Lee was among a handful of people who knew the 170 miles of Glen
Canyon very well. She'd made sixteen trips down the river, even
named some of the side canyons. Glen Canyon and the river that ran
through it had changed her life. Her descriptions of a magnificent
desert oasis and its rich archaeological ruins are a paean to
paradise lost. In 1963, the US Government's Bureau of Reclamation
(the "Wreck-the-Nation Bureau", Katie calls it) shut off the flow
of the Colorado River at Glen Canyon Dam, beginning the process of
flooding this natural treasure. Three generations have been born
since the dam was built, and in a few more decades there may be no
one alive who will have known the place. Katie Lee didn't forget
Glen Canyon, and she didn't want anyone else to forget it either.
She tells us what there was to love about Glen Canyon and why we
should miss it. The canyon had great personal significance for her:
She had gone to Hollywood to make her career as an actress and a
singer, but the river kept calling her back, showing her a better
way to live. She eloquently weaves her personal story into her
breathtaking descriptions of the trips she made down the canyon. In
later years, Katie found allies in her struggle to restore the
canyon. The Glen Canyon Institute has been joined by the Sierra
Club in calling for the draining of Lake Powell ("Rez Foul", in
Katie's words), and the idea is being debated on editorial pages
across the country and in congressional hearings. All My Rivers Are
Gone celebrates a great American landscape, mourns its loss, and
challenges us to undo the damage and forever prevent such mindless
destruction in the future.
