Filius, a young engineer from Wisconsin with a number of dams under his belt, has secured a job helping to tame the mighty Colorado and hopes the sheer scale of the era's greatest engineering feat will distract him from recent, devastating losses. Meanwhile, Lena and Burr McCardell, a young mother and son fleeing a shocking betrayal, and Lew Beck, a diminutive fighter with a short fuse to match his stature--as well as thousands of other workers-have embarked upon similar pilgrimages to \"the only city in America where everyone has a job.\" Soon, the lives of these troubled souls have intersected, offering up both the promise of second chance at love and the threat of shocking violence and wrath. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBruce Markuff, the literary equivalent of a master river guide, navigates the stories of these characters and more to offer a breathtaking vista of history and humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400032587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.22w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/20\/2005 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bruce Murkoff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52209983652021,"sku":"9781400032587","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_56a752da-6eae-4df1-ae77-33929fffe53a.jpg?v=1770131918","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/waterborne-9781400032587","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
