Bestselling author Cheryl Grey Bostrom is known for her deep love of nature and the Pacific Northwest\u2014both of which often take center stage in her novels. And What the River Keeps<\/a><\/em> is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We connected with Cheryl about how the Elwha River in Washington State plays a vital role in the story\u2019s setting. Discover the meaningful story this river holds, both within the book and in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the novel, Hildy, a reclusive wild-fish biologist, moves back home to be close to her ailing mother and to help restore her beloved Elwha River. As she slowly grows closer to a grieving local carpenter, troubling pieces of the past start to surface and Hildy needs to decide if she can overcome painful secrets and dismantle the walls that have kept her from freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn more about Cheryl\u2019s novel, start reading the first chapter of What the River Keeps<\/em><\/a>, or find your own copy in softcover, e-book, or audiobook at a retailer near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
What the River Keeps<\/em> is set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest\u2014as are all your novels. Can you tell us a little bit about why you\u2019ve chosen this region? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For much of my life, I\u2019ve studied, photographed, and lived here in the Pacific Northwest, which speaks to me through all my senses. It was only natural that I decided to set my stories in this land I\u2019ve long loved; I want my imagination to dwell here as I write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, for the setting in my first novel, Sugar Birds<\/a>, <\/em>I chose a northwest riparian forest to hide and nourish young Aggie. In Leaning on Air<\/a>, <\/em>I picked the Snake River and the vast, rolling hills of Washington\u2019s Palouse to frame both the fracture and mending of Celia and autistic Burnaby\u2019s unusual love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this newest novel, What the River Keeps<\/a>, <\/em>I returned protagonist Hildy to her childhood home in the Elwha Valley to confront her mysterious past. Seven miles from where I grew up, it\u2019s a rugged Olympic National Park watershed, located in wilderness that both blessed and haunted me as I came of age\u2014as it does Hildy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

In the story, readers meet Hildy Nybo, a biologist working alongside a team of scientists who oversee restoration of the Elwha River. What is the significance of the river and why did you want to write about it? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the early twentieth century, all five species of Pacific salmon swam and spawned, grew and died along the entire forty-five-mile length of Washington\u2019s Elwha River. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples had built cultures and livelihoods around the river and those fish, which grew to legendary size in their sea-dwelling years, then returned to spawn in enormous numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Thomas Aldwell. By 1910, the Toronto entrepreneur had finagled the construction of a hydroelectric dam five miles from the river\u2019s mouth. While the Elwha and (a few years later) Glines dams brought much-needed power to the primitive Olympic Peninsula, those dams\u2014built without fish ladders\u2014severed fish passage, interrupted sediment and nutrient movement between mountains and sea, compromised wildlife and forests, and devastated the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persisting all the way to the Congress, the Klallams lobbied for their river\u2019s freedom until, in 1992, the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act was signed into law. That law authorized the Secretary of the Interior to acquire both of the dams and to restore the Elwha and its native, sea-going fisheries. Though it took another two decades to begin, the largest dam removal in US history ensued, and the river began to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why write about it? It\u2019s a staggering story of redemption and hope\u2014and a mirror of both our human condition and our potential to heal. Who doesn\u2019t need stories like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too, from what I read in Genesis, I believe stewardship of creation is an ongoing call and commission. The Elwha\u2019s travails and recovery showcase our connectedness to nature\u2019s ecosystems and display how, based on our choices, those systems either suffer or flourish. I pray readers will emerge from the novel with fresh awareness of, and care for, the created world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

How does Hildy\u2019s journey parallel what is happening with the Elwha River in the story? What do you hope readers will glean from Hildy\u2019s experiences in the novel? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Elwha\u2019s story matches Hildy\u2019s step for step! Control and deception have trapped them both in long bondage\u2014the river behind concrete barricades; Hildy behind a barrier of lies and confusion. As the physical dams crumble, the ecosystem begins to recover. Likewise, as Hildy\u2019s dark strongholds disintegrate, truth and peace replace her inner turmoil, and she too finds healing . . . and real love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that as readers recognize those parallels, they\u2019ll grow in insight. I also pray that the natural world revealed on these pages will draw them nearer to our Creator Christ by illustrating not only his majesty, but how he redeems and restores those he loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

Just for fun: If a reader who\u2019d never been to the Pacific Northwest visited Hildy, where would she take them to get a glimpse of the wonder and beauty of the natural world she loves so much?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm. By the time Hildy would be showing a reader around, she\u2019d have reached the end of this tale, and responsibilities would likely keep her close to home. I\u2019m guessing her non-negotiables would be a sandy walk along the Dungeness Spit nature preserve and the curvy drive to panoramic mountain views on Hurricane Ridge. If time allowed, they\u2019d row on Lake Crescent, wander the Hoh Rain Forest, and scramble old-growth driftwood and wave-worn boulders on beaches near LaPush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course they\u2019d visit the reborn Elwha estuary. \u201cBring your backcountry gear next time,\u201d I think she\u2019d say. \u201cI\u2019ll take you upriver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hildy Nybo is a successful biologist, her study of the Pacific Northwest\u2019s wild fish both a passion and a career. But behind her professional brilliance, Hildy\u2019s reclusive private life reflects a childhood fraught with uncertainty. Despite her father\u2019s love and her mother\u2019s sympathy, she grew up constantly losing even her most cherished belongings, unable to recall where she misplaced them. Haunted by the confusion of those early years, she now records her life in detailed diaries and clings tightly to memory-prompting keepsakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then her mother\u2019s health fails, and Hildy accepts a job near her childhood home, joining a team of scientists who will help restore her beloved Elwha River after the demolition of two century-old dams. There Hildy settles into one of the cabins on her family\u2019s rustic resort\u2014a place she both loves and dreads, for reasons she can\u2019t fully explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When local artist Miranda Rimmer rents an adjacent cabin for her pottery studio, Hildy shrinks from such a close neighbor. But then Miranda\u2019s carpenter brother, Luke, shows up to help with construction and captures Hildy\u2019s attention. Now a few years beyond a tragedy that brought him to his knees, Luke recognizes a kindred soul in Hildy, and they build a relationship that dismantles the walls Hildy\u2019s built to keep people out. As troubling pieces of the past surface, Hildy dares to wonder if she can banish the shadows that have burdened her and follow her river\u2019s course to freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
