For nearly thirty years, Tana McCabe has been trapped in suspended animation, just like the beetle encased in resin she wears around her neck. But one warm, summer night, on a remote stretch of highway in Montana, Tana unexpectedly breaks free from the expectations draped over her by her swiftly unraveling family and conservative hometown politics. Tana, a white woman, falls in love with Colette Little Crow. Her coming out as a late-blooming Gay woman is messy, painful, and full of fumbles only surpassed by those of her evolving family.

Set on the slopes of the continental divide, in a place the Blackfeet call the backbone of the world, Where Rivers Change Direction is the awakening story of a woman who cannot remain bound to one place or identity. Tana's love with Collette ultimately cleaves her heart in two and she must decide whether to try to piece it all back together, or cross geographic and cultural divides to start over. Where Rivers Change Direction explores the meaning of home, the consequence of our choices, and the complicated influences - some centuries old - that pull us in one direction or another.
