Stone River Rain

Stone River Rain: Currents in a Single Flow is heroic harrowing and magical. This is a story of unselfish love and indomitable courage in the face of cruelty violence and tragic loss. The simple human need to give and receive love draws the novel's heroines-mother daughter and refugee child-into each other's lives as we follow Mimi the central character on her journey from the busy streets and verdant parks of San Francisco to the dry desert home of the Hadendowa tribe of Sudan East Africa. The writing is vivid at times mischievous and the book features a cast of unlikely characters with Rabe the park raven Moses the cherished pet dog a beloved backyard tree doves elephants and a very special camel meandering through the chapters. Ultimately Stone River Rain is a powerful and poetic debut novel-a tale of the quiet triumph of love over doubt and despair.
