What This River Keeps
In the rolling hills of southern Indiana, an elderly couple copes with the fear that their riverbottom farm-the only home they've ever known-will be taken from them through an act of eminent domain. The river flowing through their land, the current the old man has fished nearly every day of his life, may be dammed to form a reservoir. Their son, slipping deeper into troubles of his own, struggles to define his place both in a new romantic relationship and in the family heritage. This beautiful and heartfelt debut novel examines what it means to love a place and a family, and the sometimes-staggering cost of that affection.
