"Neale's novel is filled with likeable characters, and The River itself is one of them, suffused with mystery and power. This is a gentle, nostalgic story that should draw in many readers with its heartwarming tone." ---CBA Retailers and Resources * CBA Retailers & Resources * "Neale's novel is a powerful allegory about faith in something more powerful and mysterious than oneself . . . Neale evokes a relation ship between his protagonist and nature as real as any Gabriel has with the people around him as he learns that by trusting The River to guide him, he will end up where he is meant to be. The River is not without its rough patches, enabling Neale to illustrate how it is in the toughest situations that we find our way." ---Booklist Review * Booklist Review * "Michael Neale's The River gently sweeps readers along like a leaf in a current as Gabriel struggles with beginning a new life after a terrible loss. Throughout this artfully crafted story is a genu ine sense of The River as a force of nature to be reckoned with, respected and learned from." ---Bookpage Review * Bookpage Review *
