Turbulent, with ever-changing currents that threaten to pull you under - this describes the wild Atchafalaya River and also the stormy heart of Harold, a twelve-year-old boy coming of age during the desperate days of the 1930s who is trying to navigate the churning waters of love, loyalty, manhood... and the quest for God. After seeing a man whose throat has been slashed in a bar fight, Harold's father feels called to pastor the church in this volatile Louisiana parish. He uproots his family and settles them in a shack by the mighty river. They face uncertainty and danger right from the beginning within the church and town, as well as the dangerous waters of their own hearts. As the river's muddy waters rise, so do the challenges facing Harold and his family. Beautifully written, full of humor and warmth, The Wild River will immerse you in its waters and pull you in with characters who come alive and cause you to care. Will the town survive the river that threatens to tear it apart? And will Harold's family be torn apart in the wild wake of rising passions and fear?
