In Sandstone Seduction, Katie Lee collects her most creative writing, written over her lifetime, telling us about the events that shaped her life, and her encounters with water and rock. As always, her writing is deeply personal, remarkably candid, and abundantly frank. Katie Lee speaks her mind; she does not hold back. Along the rivers and canyons of the Southwest, Katie Lee is a legend. She was a Hollywood starlet, with promising careers in radio and television, when she fell in love with the Colorado River. In 1953 she became only the third woman to run all the rapids of the Grand Canyon (and only the 175th person overall since Powell's expedition in 1869). Her love affair with the Colorado grew until she had left Hollywood far behind, spending as much time running the river as she could manage. The river became her lover, first and forever.Lee, Katie is the author of 'Sandstone Seduction Rivers and Lovers, Canyons and Friends', published 2004 under ISBN 9781555663384 and ISBN 1555663389.
