Ruthless River: Love and Survival by Raft on the Amazon's Relentless Madre de DiosA stunning debut; a Departures original publication. The ultimate survival story; a wild ride the wildest down a South American river in the thick of the Amazon Basin; a true and thrilling adventure of a young married couple who survive a plane crash only to later raft hundreds of miles across Peru and Bolivia, ending up in a channel to nowhere, a dead end so flooded there is literally no land to stand on.

A stunning debut; a Departures original publication. The ultimate survival story; a wild ride--the wildest--down a South American river in the thick of the Amazon Basin; a true and thrilling adventure of a young married couple who survive a plane crash only to later raft hundreds of miles across Peru and Bolivia, ending up in a channel to nowhere, a dead end so flooded there is literally no land to stand on. Their raft--a mere four logs--separates them from the piranha-and-caiman-infested water until they finally realize that there is no way out but to swim. Vintage Original.Holly FitzGerald and her husband, Fitz--married less than two years--set out on a yearlong honeymoon adventure of a lifetime, backpacking around the world. Five months into the trip their plane crash lands in Peru at a penal colony walled in by jungle, and their blissfully romantic journey turns into a terrifying nonstop labyrinth of escape and survival. On a small, soon-ravaged raft that quickly becomes their entire universe through dangerous waters alive with deadly animals and fish, their only choice: to continue on, despite the rush of insects swarming them by day, the sounds of encroaching predators at night. Without food or means of communication, with no one to hear their cries for help or on a search-and-rescue expedition to find them, the author and her husband make their way, fighting to conquer starvation and navigate the brute force of the river, their only hope for survival, in spite of hunger and weakening resolve, to somehow, miraculously hang on and find their way east to a large riverside town, before it is too late. . . .

Worth it!
Color: orange
It’s so cute and really really fluffy. I got the orange one and it sheds a lot but if you brush it out really good with a really good brush you will have little to no shed at all. Also it’s a little to fluffy because I can barely see my dashboard so that’s kinda an issue but overall it’s cute and I get complements all the time.

Worth the buy
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
First I honestly only wanted the steering wheel cover but couldn't find it for sale that way.
It comes in sealed bag. The pieces are flat and bunched when taken out. I had a dog brush that I use to keep my fluffy slippers from getting matted and used it to fluff the pieces out. yes they shedded while brushing but not too much. The texture of the smaller two pieces were soft the steering wheel was soft also but had some spots that felt slightly rough. The piece for the brake slid on easily. The piece for the gear shift fit but was pressing against the gear shift button on the left side which kept my car from cutting off so I had to "modify" the piece. Steering wheel piece does still shed slightly but not enough to bother me. Over all happy with purchase yellow was vibrant and stands out. Would recommend.

So fluffly, they're actually unsafe.
Color: orange
It's REALLY fluffy. It blocks the instrument panel, spedometer, etc. It also sheds like crazy. The emergency brake & shift knob covers were overwhelming, too. They do look cool, but it's unsafe.

vroom vroom
Color: Burgundy, Color: Burgundy
absolutely obsessed with how these make my car look. super warm in the winter, although i think i’ll have to take it off during the summer because my vents are blocked by how large the steering wheel cover is. i saw a lot of reviews saying it shed a lot, but honestly it has barely shed for me. i’ve had it for a month now and it’s holding up great so far. i do wanna warn everyone though, you CANNOT see your dash if you’re in a smaller car. i use waze which tells me my speed, but other than that i have to move the fur out of the way to see literally anything on my dash.
