Part fiery environmentalist's polemic, part homage to her home and her spiritual center, and a personal tribute to many of the individuals actively engaged in protecting and promoting that home today, Ray's "Drifting Into Darien" is an engaging read, especially for those of us who love Georgia's remaining wild places. (Full disclosure: I am originally from so far north, I don't even qualify as a "damned Yankee," being Canadian by birth, but I have called Georgia home for over 27 years now, almost half my adult life.) As we read, we learn that a river and its surrounding lands, its sources, its tributaries and its lasting effects on everything from agriculture to transportation are so much more than meets the eye. Ray draws us in, and makes us want to go out and work for our own places (of origin or of current residence) with the same white-hot love she feels for the Altamaha river basin, its swamps and floodplains, its rich zoology, its changing seasons, and its human inhabitants.

Excellent earthy book about a deep south coastal town.
Very informative and thought provoking. We are all joined by water. We need to honor our Mother!!
This book is excellent reading and informative on the natural history of the river. Janisse is a good writer and her other books are also good.
This story gave you insight to a different world of the Altamaha River and what it meant not only to the writer but to her family and community. Well written, a place I would love to visit.
I'm a fan of Janisse Ray's writing and Drifting into Daren has not disappointed.
What can I say? I am totally smitten by the writings of Janisse Ray, the author of this book. She speaks to me in her unique strong Southern woman voice. She is SUCH an advocate of taking care of planet earth in general and the Altamaha River specifically. The river has a great protector in this woman. The book is about a trip down the Altamaha to the Georgia coast line. Every day was an adventure. It is all well documented in this book. This book is sort of the companion piece to "Altamaha-A River and its Keeper". I give this book my highest endorsement.
I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this selection. I enjoyed Ms Ray's writing style,her words flow just like the river she writes about. I live not far from the Altamaha,have canoed down some of it, didn't realize what we had and will do my parT in helping to maintain and preserve this jewel in Georgia.
It is a great read and really helps you understand how we all are depend on each other....bugs,critters included.
