"A funny, touching, lovingly crafted novel by a writer who cares deeply for his characters. To be sure, there is death where river turns to sky, but in this magical tale, it is life that ultimately triumphs." --Rick Borsten, author ofRainbow Rhapsody"A lovingly told story of aging...an insightful story about reconciliation- finding peace with our mistakes and each other. And it's a poignant story about dying with dignity- or at least flair...[Kleiner] has captured the essence of aging in these endearing, cantankerous, and very human characters." --Chicago Tribune"Heartfelt, fresh as a breeze-funny and full of senior citizens full of piss and vinegar...WHERE RIVER TURNS TO SKY, at last our dream come true. A big house where we all could live. A big house where we won't die alone." --Tom Spanbauer, author ofThe Man Who Fell In Love With the Moon"Heartwarming, Heartaching... Beatifully told." --Grand Times Magazine"Heartwarming, Heartaching... Beautifully Told." --Grand Times Magazine"If God is in the details, Kleiner's debut is a holy romp...The author's rambunctious prose settles into a hang-tight thematic on transcending the mundane no matter what age...[Kleiner] lushly renders the Oregon countryside and deftly captures those bewildering concerns trapped inside the hoariest hearts." --Eugene Weekly"Insightful...poignant...lovingly told...a touching, funny examination of aging, life, death." --Chicago Tribune"Kleiner has a beautiful way with words. There's a gentleness to his characters yet he gives them the steel they need to survive- and to challenge death...My personal hope is that everyone who deals with the aging will read this book and think hard on it." --The Olympian"Kleiner's fine tale...unfolds, like life, with unexpected twists." --Aging Today
