In this novella by Sarah Richardson Montgomery, the author uses inspirations, born from her own love of nature and satisfaction from toiling in God's soil to bring the story of Barker, Anna Laura, and Nelle Hemmer to life. Set on the turbulent Mississippi and elevated landscape of the Louisiana farmland that allow her characters to escape the confines of the river, her characters search for love and understanding. The journey is long and arduous. Perhaps it is God's sharing of His wisdom that encourages individuals, in this short, literary portrait of life, to travel toward truth. This story portrays human emotions, often misguided, that complicate the relationships of ordinary people. Betrayal, humiliation, unexpected outcomes, and, finally, redemption. When attitudes, akin to the nature of the mighty Mississippi, co-mingle with the tranquil desire to understand, the landscape changes.
