A courageous adventure and an extraordinary love story, bound up in the beauty of the American landscape . . .

In October 1928, one year after Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic, a pair of newlyweds set out to run the rapids of the Grand Canyon in a homemade boat. Swept up by America's obsession with feats of daring, Glen and Bessie Hyde hoped to set a record - she would be the first woman to run that treacherous stretch of the Colorado River. A month later they vanished without a trace.

Taking the few known facts of Bessie and Glen Hyde's story, and deftly braiding the account of the young lovers' journey with Glen's father's desperate efforts to find them, Lisa Michaels creates a tale of inexorable suspense. A sweeping tale of compelling adventure written in lean and elegant prose and set against the background of the awe-inspiring Colorado rapids, 'Grand Ambition' is a meditation on the line between risk and recklessness, and the passions that drive us there.
