Opis

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.
