The timeline of this story ebbs and flows as does the river on which it is set. The structure of the novel uses Egyptian mythology and turns the Eastern U.S. into Kingdoms. The Kinwell family provides a link between the living and the dead. A beautiful tale of connection, pain, and melancholy set in the 1970s.
