After River: a Novel by Donna Milner

At fifteen, Natalie Ward believes life is perfect. Growing up on a dairy farm nestled in the mountains of British Columbia, her world is defined by her beautiful and pious mother, Nettie, and Boyer, the handsome, brilliant older brother she adores. But everything changes one summer day in 1966 when an American draft dodger named River walks up the winding dirt road to their door. The arrival of this soft-spoken stranger will test the morals and beliefs of the Ward family and their small community, pushing them all to the breaking point and separating Natalie from the family she loves in ways she never imagined. Now, thirty-five years later, as her mother lies dying, Natalie returns to the place that holds such bittersweet memories. But before she can find redemption and rehabilitation, she must steel herself to face the horrors and secrets of a past she's desperately tried to forget. This 2009 Harper Perennial Paperback is in fair condition.
