Maria's Bookshop is thrilled to host both of these Torrey House Press authors!

In "Shaped by Snow", Bounous's examines personal and family connections to snow and skiing and how climate change threatens both the mountain and the relationships that shape her.

Zak Podmore's "Confluence" takes shape in the wake of his river-running mother’s death. Podmore illustrates the healing power of wild places through a lens of grief and regeneration. Visceral, first-person narratives include a canoe crossing of the Colorado River delta during a rare release of water, a kayak sprint down a flash-flooding Little Colorado River to the site of a proposed tourist development, and a packraft trip on the Elwha River in Washington through the largest dam removal project in history.
