Deep As The Rivers (Santa Fe Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
Murky blackness, icy cold and fast moving, surrounded her as she thrashed frantically, trying to propel herself upward to breathe, to scream for help. What if no one saw her fall? What if they continued upriver without stopping, leaving her to a watery grave in the wilderness? No, she refused to accept such a horrible, lonely death. Her hands and feet scraped the muddy bottom, restoring her sense of direction and allowing her a firm base from which to push off. She kicked upward with all her strength, clawing her way to the surface. The instant her face felt the cold fresh wind she sucked a great gulp of air into her lungs and screamed with all her might, “Samuel!” Then she was pulled beneath the swift rushing water once more. Blackness closed in again. The relentless force of the current buffeted her as if she were no more than a hollow stick of driftwood. She thrashed and floundered, growing more hysterical each second her burning lungs were without oxygen. Suddenly a powerful band of steel-like strength and hardness encircled her waist, squeezing out what little breath she had left.
