O knihe

The short stories in The Kentland River Washout vary in theme-from friendship, loyalty, forgiveness, betrayal, love, envy, hope, death, grief, trust, and faith. But the one thread that binds this mosaic tapestry is the transformative impact of the raging floodwaters of the Kentland River, disrupting the lives of people living all along its meandering path. Family secrets are revealed, marriages are jeopardized, fractured relationships are healed, and so much more in this collection. While the characters range in age and socioeconomic background, the stories themselves are based on one common theme: how people respond to the daily challenges of life in the midst of a catastrophic event. The Kentland River Washout is a unique compilation of fiction written by the members of the Bookies of Williamsburg, an enterprising book club comprised of ladies who enjoy meeting monthly for lively discussions on a wide range of literary material. For this project, each of the ten participants had the creative license to weave her own story about the aftermath of a flood. It was a chance for the women to lift their own voices and share their stories-ten authors drawing their source from the waters of the fictitious Kentland River.
