Kirkus Reviews

“McBride sets a vivid scene, and her storytelling consistently engages. An involving tale that balances struggle, love, and hope.”

Earnie Porta, PhD, Mayor, Town of Occoquan

“A well-written and absorbing story of resilience that also wonderfully explores and captures the natural beauty of the Occoquan River and its surroundings.”
