Life is a journey and we all know the destination. We just don't often know the time of departure, except when an incurable disease is involved. That's the ultimate point of this book, a moving, powerful story of love between two travelers who meet -- by chance? Maybe. by fate? Maybe. by heart? Definitely -- enroute to a kayak trip down a fabled New England river. Their story laces a love of nature, of education, of science, of people, of animals, of birds, around the love created by two hearts joined as one in a way only true love can. And how they face the dark reality that soon they must love each other enough to let go. For "love is," as the songwriter Ben Gibbard said, "watching someone die." This is a moving story of love and its power in life and up to and over death. Read it with someone you love. Share it with someone you love. You will be all the better for it.
