    River Music by Terry Tempest Williams was the selection I found to be my favorite. River Music is solely about the Colorado River and every single aspect about it. The author looks way beyond the image of the river‚ she sees and thinks about the river all the time. This selection spoke to me as I read it for several reasons.
