The River

Dear Reader:

One of my mother’s friends had a dream to travel along a mysterious river in Canada. When my mother told me some of the rumors of this river―the name of which she couldn’t remember―I became hooked and a chilling story began to brew in my mind. The search was on to find that river.

The South Nahanni River in Canada’s rugged Northwest Territories is one of the most spectacular sights in the world. It is fraught with exquisite beauty and hidden dangers. It is also filled with an abundance of plant and animal life―not to mention, woven with legends ‘older than dirt’, as my husband would say.

This may be the river to which my mother’s friend was referring. Or it may not. Nevertheless, the Nahanni River holds many secrets. Decades ago headless skeletons and corpses were discovered along its banks. Over the years, people have gone missing, and I’ve heard it referred to as the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Canada’.

Although THE RIVER is interwoven with fact, this novel is a work of fact…and fiction.

I’ll let you be the judge of which is which.

Take the ride of your life, down…

The River
