Description
A river can be a refuge, a classroom, and a living archive of what people tried to forget. In this novel, Ren and Sonny—two unlikely friends—find freedom and adventure along a storied stretch of water, while a group of storytelling vagrants treats the river as home and the isolated daughter of a cult reverend sees it as an escape from a life closing in. As Moses and the others weave tales that carry both warning and wonder, the river’s secrets begin to surface, and change threatens to upend the fragile safety it offers. With Tony Birch’s lyrical, character-driven storytelling and deep attention to Indigenous history and voice, the book explores belonging, courage, and the power of stories to survive—and to transform—when trouble comes downstream.
