Synopsis
Spanning seven decade of a woman's life these stories are as timely as they are classic. Each tale flows into the next with sparkling prose. Shaw makes every memory vivid with words woven to draw us, willingly, through chapters of her life recalling events both startling and profound.
From beginning to end, Go with the River sweeps us along as Mary Shaw invites readers to join her in "celebrating the possible." For those who wish to write about their own lives, and for readers who enjoy true stories, here is an inspiring and evocative book.

About the Author
Mary Wright Shaw grew up in Warren, PA, studied nursing at Mass Gen. Hospital and public Health at Simmons College. After serving in the Army Nurse Corps during World War II, she moved to California, attended Stanford University, married and became a full time wife and mother. Widowed in 1960 she returned to Stanford to prepare for a career in public health and education to support her five young children.
Recently she has helped found YES Reading, a non-profit agency dedicated to creating a network of YES Reading Centers where well-trained community volunteers tutor children who are reading significantly below grade level.
YES Reading believes teachers need help from the community to improve the state of literacy in this country.
