Set in the 80s, The Little Schoolhouse by the River is the true story of a young elementary teacher setting forth on his first assignment following college. He is assigned to a small church school located across from the Bookcliffs, just up from the river, in the rugged beauty of Western Colorado. He soon learns that his original plans and expectations must be abandoned as he struggles to manage an ever-increasing enrollment. Despite the myriad challenges, he swiftly discovers that he has a natural gift at connecting with the children in his care. The story follows him as he becomes deeply invested in the success of his students while also dealing with his own frustration and loneliness. Interspersed throughout are moments of comedy and laughter that only a group of children can create, but there are also moments of quiet reflection as the beauty of the environment molds him. He finds support in unexpected places as he seeks fellowship and guidance. His experiences take him on a path of soul searching and self-discovery that leads him to make a surprising decision. The Little Schoolhouse by the River invites us on a journey downstream to answer the most difficult question of all: Who do we want to be?
