Margot and Anthony were ordinary parents. With two jobs and three kids, there was soccer and carpool and too much to do, and a little chronic stress about money. Then one night, following a day that was a regular amount of hectic, Margot had an idea: “I think we should move to Costa Rica.” Seven weeks later, there they were, jobless on top of a mountain, hours from the nearest paved road. This witty, insightful memoir of a family's struggle to right itself in a leafy new world is about parenting and privilege, loneliness and connection. It’s about what happens when a stressed-out technology professional escapes with her loved ones to an idyllic mountaintop...and finds that even when everything changes, some things remain the same.

The expanded edition of the ground-breaking memoir Little Rivers: Tales of a Woman Angler (originally published in 1995) remains the first literary narrative of a woman in the male-dominated sport of fly fishing. In essays described as "luminous," Little Rivers features the continuing chronicles of Margot Page's evolution from reluctant student to passionate angler to married, angling young mother, to divorced, desk-bound angler. In this eloquent, acclaimed book, Margot Page continues her strong, evocative presence in the canon of fly-fishing literature. Page invites us to her home river, Vermont's marble-banked Battenkill, to Cape Cod saltwater fishing for striped bass, to Montana's big waters, to the wild Alaskan landscape, and, most compellingly, to the passages that run through her life and echo our own. She also includes a rare peek at the early years of the national nonprofit Casting for Recovery, of which she is a founding member and trustee. 10% of all proceeds from the sale of Little Rivers will be donated to Casting for Recovery. The granddaughter of the legendary angling writer Sparse Grey Hackle and former spouse of renowned angling authority Tom Rosenbauer, Margot is the author of three nonfiction books and a former contributor to The New York Times. Her essays on fly fishing have been anthologized in numerous publications.
