The River and the Garden: A Story of Faithfully Stewarding Surplus

By Rachel McDonough

What happens when a family's wealth becomes the thing that heals them?

Maddie Craig (Gran) is running out of time and sitting on millions she'll never spend. Her son, Roger, recovering from a heart attack that stripped him of everything he used to call success, barely recognizes himself. Her granddaughter, Willow, sees beauty everywhere except in the language of money. When Gran summons them both to help steward her surplus, she isn't doing estate planning. She's planting seeds of reconciliation.

What begins as an uncomfortable family obligation becomes an unexpected journey, one that transforms how three generations see wealth, each other, and themselves.

Based on true principles of impact investing, The River and the Garden invites you to sit with one question: What is your surplus cultivating?
