The Girlfriend Author Interview: Shelley Read, June 2024 – ‘Go as a River’

No one was as surprised as Shelley Read when her book hit the top of the charts. Her coming-of-age story, set in beautiful Colorado peach country, takes readers on a journey of displacement, courage and self-discovery. It took her nearly 13 years to write the book, which she shared with no one. She now relishes the chance to share her deep Colorado roots. “I've talked to so many readers that said the book has inspired them just to recultivate their own relationship with nature.” Join our free, private Facebook group, The Girlfriend Book Club, for more author talks, great recommendations and regular giveaways!
