ABOUT THE BOOK
You Can't Outrun the Sins of Your Past Desperate to forget what happened to him in Iraq, Tyler Perkins flees to the emptiness of Wyoming. He's here to escape and also to fulfill a long-ago promise by accompanying his 86-year-old friend Soren Andeman on a fly-fishing trip--once more for old time's sake. But their trek to an idyllic trout lake soon becomes something more deeply harrowing--a journey that uncovers long-held lies, deadly crimes, and the buried secrets of the past. Ty barely has time to contemplate the question of what constitutes justice when nature unleashes her own revenge. Trapped in a race back to safety, he must face his own guilt-ridden past or risk being consumed.
Powerfully imagined by the acclaimed author of In High Places, Wind River is an engaging wilderness adventure that explores the power of confession, the beauty of forgiveness, and the freedom of truth unveiled.

This time I had to post a personal comment with the usual "Copy-and-Paste" review. If you haven't read Wind River, you're missing a wonderful experience.
Up down under but no review. Hope to read it soon!
Post is up.
And the list of those joining in the blog tour - are those reviewers or posters? I've posted every Wednesday for over a year and I am not listed...
Posted and pinged but no review yet. I'm still reading "The Edge of Recall" and hoping to get to Wind River soon.
Posted with a review. Off to ping.

WINDOW TO MY WORLD
Just posted, and I put up an initial review. I'm only about a quarter of the way in, but at this point I'd have to echo everybody else's thoughts: if you skip this one, you're missing out!

Hi Diane,
Those listed at the end of the post are the reviewers that have ordered the book.
The publisher likes to know where their books went. By leaving a comment here, that also shows them the other people who have posted for the tours.
So in essence, leaving a comment adds you to their viewing.
I'm posted. Will have a full review on Friday. I'm really enjoying the novel.
