Moving Under Fury

About the Book

"We met a storm last week, as a for instance, going into a rapid where the river slams you down and kicks you no matter what the season. You put the two together, one bastard above throwing bolts of lightening, cracking walls, ripping the sky apart, and a bitch beneath spewing spit in your face and bucking hell out of ya',well, ma'am, that's livin'. Makes me feel like a young goat."

"I saw the river flowing, rough at first and then peacefully toward the sea from whence we all came, the great womb, the final pacifier."

Edna leaves her home in Phoenix, explosively and without a plan. Problems have gathered and threaten her sanity, but she, an artist, runs, hell-bent on surviving in a new setting. She finds a desirable location, breathtakingly beautiful, but the religious citizens reject her as foreign, perhaps a sinner, a person of another faith, or horror of horrors, no faith at all. Edna gravitates to the fringe folks, mainly the Colorado River runners, and acquires a new way of viewing the world, a new family, and with new love, a heart-wrenching event. Other people float in and out of this social edge, but Edna, being the newcomer, is the object of a scheme to run her out of town. MOVING UNDER FURY rips the blinders from our eyes and throws us into an improbable drama that, in its immediacy, awakens our forgotten fears and sets us squarely on stage with the story's characters to face incredible obstacles, the sometimes silence of cruelty, and an uncertain future.
