As the protagonist--and an entire community--gathers strength to stand up to dark forces, we see the power of resolve and resilience. To borrow a line from the book, this work is 'A song . . . A song beyond space and time.' It is a song, calling to us all: Be delighted by the world while simultaneously standing up for one another.' * Laura Pritchett, author of Three Keys * 'The River Muse is a lyrical story of loss, healing, and second chances.
