River of Summer — Lois Gilbert

Sometimes you have to travel a long way to find your true home....

Zoe Harper's marriage is over. After years of relative contentment, a cruel betrayal by her husband has sent her into a tailspin of self-doubt and regret. Confused and angry, she strikes out on her own, crossing the country in a desperate search for peace. The last place she ever expects to find it is in the middle of the starkly beautiful Utah desert.

There, she meets a man--intelligent, intense, and ten years her junior. He is on his own search for meaning, and will lead her on a journey of desire--helping her to discover a new passion for life, and opening a world of possibilities she thought she'd left behind long ago.
