The Singing River (My Friend The Enemy)

By Stanley C. Brown

It is 1861 in the Territory of Arizona, and a young couple with their one year old son venture into the wilderness of the central mountains to escape the violence and lawlessness in the town of Tucson. Giuseppe and Ana Maria Bellini have made friends with the Tonto Apache people and their head-man Del-che-ae. He has invited them to settle in a canyon beside the East Verde River, just under the shadow of the Mogollon Rim. Thirteen years of close contact with various Apache family bands brings both joy and sorrow for the growing family as the drama unfolds. This griping and historically accurate story tells how a frontier family sought to bridge the cultural gap between Native and Euro-Americans. It is a story of faith, hope and love among the families of two irreconcilable cultures. "The Singing River" is a sequel to Stanley Brown's novel "The Immigrant", but it stands on its own as a thrilling story from the frontier.
