"Two years after divorce, Reily Watters lacks direction. A 556-mile canoe and kayak expedition on the Susquehanna River offers diversion he can’t pass up. But when a real estate development threatens their river, Reily and his new friends must decide whether to take action, or just keep paddling. Will his convictions be strong enough to make a difference. What will it take to save The Heights? Can this Odyssey save not only the environment…but restore Reily’s solace through love? Set in 2004, The Restorers blends the brash wildness of Jack Kerouac with the ecojustice of Carl Hiassen and the riverine peace painted by Mark Twain."--Back cover.
