How to Move a River; You were never meant to do it alone

By Tony Woodbury

After losing my 18 year old son Austin, I poured my grief into this book, wishing I could go back and give him one last piece of fatherly advice:

You were never meant to change the course of the river alone.

Austin cared deeply about the world. He felt the weight of unfairness, greed, pollution, and corruption. He wanted wrong things made right. But sometimes the current of the world can feel too overwhelming for one heart to change alone.

How to Move a River is the story of a little stone who rolls into the river to help, only to discover the current is too strong for one stone alone.

But when he finds another, and another, they begin to change what once felt impossible.

For children, parents, and anyone who has ever felt too small to make a difference, or tried to carry something too heavy alone.
