Rebecca's Reviews > Riverman: An American Odyssey

I was fortunate to win a Goodreads giveaway and received an arc of Riverman. Ben McGrath is a top-notch, talented writer with an enviable vocabulary. Growing up in Utah, I have a great love for the outdoors. I feel so much solace and a sense of grounding when I’m alone in nature. I thought the book would highlight more of Conant’s relationship with nature as he canoed his solo trips through different American rivers. The book focused more on Conant’s relationship with humanity and the struggles and challenges he encountered while making his way through a non-conventional lifestyle. The book highlighted beautiful aspects of humanity and everything in between. Conant’s story is a good reminder that every individual has a story and lucky is the person that stops to listen.
