What could be safer than Grand Forks, North Dakota, settled on the vast, flat plain of the Red River? Thered be no danger unless the whole town went under water. But in April 1997 that is precisely what happened. Flood Stage and Rising tells the story of that monthlong disaster from the point of view of one who lived through itfighting the flood shouldertoshoulder with her neighbors, watching in horror as the water breaks the dikes, fleeing the city only to see, via newscasts, her town burst into flames at the height of the floodand finally working to put her own and Grand Forks life back together.As she chronicles North Dakotas disastrous winter and springand the tortuous recovery process that continues to this dayJane Varley gives us a shocking, moving picture of the reality behind the headline news that riveted the nation. A gifted poet and essayist, Varley has crafted a firstrate adventure narrative that is also a love story about a particular place and time, infused with her passion for the natural world, a curiosity about rivers and remote landscapes, and a need for meaning. Her story culminates a life of travels that prepared herand prepares usfor what we see in North Dakota as the lake bed of the Red River Valley refills with water like a ghost of its ancient past.
