Tamar Glouberman’s first book Chasing Rivers: A Whitewater Life is a memoir combining the excitement of whitewater with the search for self-forgiveness. As a long-time wilderness guide, Glouberman has always loved the storytelling aspect of her job, so it was only natural that her midlife crisis brought her to the University of British Columbia, where she earned an MFA in creative writing. Glouberman’s homebase is in the mountains of Whistler, where she works and plays in the snow all winter. During the rest of the year, she guides outdoor adventures in the Great Bear Rainforest, which happens to be the setting of the novel she’s working on.
