"Reading Colleen Miniuk’s words in So Said the River brought me into a gorgeous unexpended place of discovery.”
“So Said the River is part travelogue, part self-help manifesto, but it’s also a love letter to America’s most stunning landscape and a plea for environmental preservation--and will make you want to pick up a paddle and head to the canyons of the Southwest."
“In So Said the River, life reflects the Colorado’s pure purpose, flowing in spite of all the obstacles on the journey. Hold on tight, this story is a transcendent adventure worth taking.”
“Exuberant, precocious Colleen Miniuk points her inflatable standup paddleboard Lir into turbulent Colorado River waters; we participate in her journey of discovery. Rigid perfectionism and control yield to new self-confidence not based on perceived societal expectations. Widely held truisms fade as she learns, by near-death helplessness, that the Universe of truth and love prevails.”
"A brave, soul-searching adventure."
“Loved every page. I honestly couldn’t put it down. It was really uplifting and inspiring.”
"Colleen Miniuk's beloved Colorado River tells her, 'Be the water.' She listens. In doing so, she charts both the West’s great river and her own evolving life in this charming and honest book.”
