DANIEL ARROYO has suffered a lifetime of guilt over the sudden death of his infant sister, who died when he was eight years old. He now lives his middle years between that guilt and worsening episodes of PTSD from a Vietnam he left thirty years ago. When a violent encounter on a dusty highway forces Daniel to face what haunts him, he finds himself pulled back to the neighborhood of his youth, where old houses hold tired secrets. What really happened on that steamy August afternoon? The answer comes spilling from the old neighborhood, and Daniel begins to find his way home. Corran Harrington takes the reader along the Rio Grande, from its headwaters to the sea.

#MarchMadness #river

All of my river-titled books. Mostly fiction, one memoir & two cookbooks from River Cottage. I use the tagged book a lot in prompts because it‘s a quiet, beautiful little book that deserves more notice. 💜

Eggs Lovely presentation 👏🏻👏🏻 4y

#AYupAugust
Two rivers and two river books that may induce crying for the #CryMeARiver prompt. The tagged book is a beautifully written novella set along the banks of the Rio Grande. The second is on my #TBR & is set on the Shenandoah River & seems like a bit of a tearjerker. 😭📚

Dolly Nice composition! 5y
squirrelbrain The tagged book sounds really interesting - stacked... 5y

#GetMovin #river

Some books with river in the title from my stacks. I have only read the tagged book (beautiful) and cooked from the cookbook. The bottom four are in my #TBR pile. The last two were free downloads from Amazon for World Book Day last month and the title of the Leslie Kagen book is "Tomorrow River"--it's really hard to see the title in the photo. ?

Cinfhen That cookbook looks UH.MAY.ZING! 6y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen It's a good one. His 'River Cottage Veg' is good too, but I own this one. 🥄📚💜 6y
KarenUK Oh I love Hugh FW.... I have a couple of his books but that one looks great... 6y

#ReadingResolutions #QuickRead ⏳A quick read in terms of page count, but the writing is beautiful enough that it made me want to slow down and savor it. About a Vietnam veteran finding his way home through guilt, PSTD & poor choices, the author captures the beauty of the Rio Grande in New Mexico. (And it's from an #indiepress so I like to give it a little love and recognition when I can.)💜

Hard to describe & do the beauty of the writing justice. 200-ish page novella told from the POV of Vietnam vet Daniel Arroyo & some of the people & even objects he has interacted with. A bit melancholy but lovely. Paired on the blog w/ a salmon & asparagus dinner inspired by Daniel's kind gesture.
