Description
River is a powerful and moving story about a young girl's journey through time and across continents. When Emily travels back in time, she encounters her maternal forbears when they were her age, meeting them in different parts of the world.
She meets a young Aboriginal man in the Australian Outback, then finds herself in racist, segregated South Africa during World War II, and later amidst a pogrom in Lithuania. Along the way, Emily has deep encounters with the young women she meets, as well as with the history that shapes them - and ultimately, the histories that have shaped her own soul.
