The River Widow by Ann Howard Creel
5.0
Amazing plot
I loved this book. it takes place in 1937 depression era. While trying to save their possessions from a raging flood that is threatening the whole town, Adah accidentally kills her abusive husband. While trying to push his body in the raging river, she gets swept away. What follows is a fight for survival in this extremely well written story about the desperate love a Adah has for her 4 year old step child and the extreme means she will go through to be with her and save her from her abusive in laws.
The characters....I didn't like the in laws who were well written mean people. Adah seemed conflicted. She could have walked away and left the child but I think her own past demons made her stay and fight for her. I loved her character and how The author wrote her story.
.The plot was well thought out and kept me guessing what was going to happen.
I dove into this story and could not put it down! In fact I pulled an all nighter reading it. It it's a 5 star rating from me because of the way it pulled at my heart.
