In lively story-telling fashion, Pierce Kelley, author of over two dozen books, both fiction and non-fiction, tells the stories of how he and his three brothers have created a tradition of taking mostly white-water rafting trips with their sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grand-nephews and friends over the last 50 years on over 50 rivers across the United States, and into other countries, like Ireland, New Zealand and Canada. In doing so, they have passed their love of the adventure to the next generation of Kelleys, and they have created a strong family bond in the process. Readers will enjoy the thrills of victories and the agonies of defeats as the various family members experience both successes and near-successes along the way. It is a book which all who love being in nature, on rivers, whether calm or tempestuous, or in mountains or on the high seas will enjoy. It will make everyone, young and old, want to get in a canoe, kayak, rubber-ducky or raft and go down a river, with their family and friends.
