RIVER OF LOVE is a supernatural Love story about a fierce
Indigenous Mexican American girl growing up in a white Colorado town
during a youth-led cultural revolution of the 1970s. It's a Love
letter to the Southern Rocky Mountains, to the Spirits, to a close-knit
family, and even to youth itself. The Arkansas River is a vital
character, as is the environment, and wisdom of the ancestors. Things
that happen when you're young seem so much more important because
they're happening for the first time. Indigenous Mexican Americans
straddle two very different cultures; this story focuses on how we are
all connected. Power is lost by moving in a forward direction the whole
time looking backward. Mistakes are portals of discovery. Trust The
River The Flow the Lover, to be in the present, trying not to make
things happen, to not push The River. Let things come and go on their
own, to flow like a riverbed. The story culminates with the high school
friends gathering at a 40th school reunion. Attachments are invisible
threads that reach through dimensions of space and time. Infinite Love
shapes our lives. Love is what we are made for, and Love is who we are.
What if caring for each other is the summit? At all costs stay
connected.
