A crowd of approximately 200 people gathered at Denver’s District 2 police station on Wednesday night in response to the latest fatal police shooting. Members of the community group Denver Freedom Riders met with representatives of the Denver Police Department to discussMonday’s shooting of Denver teen Jessica Hernandez. No members of the media were allowed to attend that meeting, but members of the Freedom Riders said afterwards that the police promised transparency in the investigation of the shootings and they assured there would be future meetings with the community.

This novel introduces readers to Victoria Nash who is just a teenager in the 1940s, but she runs the household on her family’s peach farm in the ranch town of Iola, Colorado.

She is the sole surviving female in a family of troubled men.

Her life changes forever when she meets Wilson Moon, a young drifter, displaced from his tribal land in the Four Corners region.

Victoria must navigate love and loss while her home town drowns under the rising waters of the Gunnison River.
