Story about a man, Doss, who takes his dying wife (cancer) on a canoe trip to "where the river ends." On the trip, he wishes to fulfill 10 of his wife's (Abbie) items on her "bucket list." He encounters many obstacles along the way, the main one being that his father-in-law, a senator treats Doss's trip as a kidnapping. The story was enjoyable, and the author did a good job with integrating the past (when they met/discovered the cancer/etc) and the present (the trip). He did this chapter by chapter--meaning one chapter would be about the past, and the next chapter would be about the trip and so on. I did feel myself drawn to the chapters about the past more than the chapters about the present at least until the final half of the book. This was a good read and I would recommend it.
