Like a River Flowing

Like a River Flowing carries the reader back in time to the Deep South where a boy’s idyllic summer is shattered by a brutal crime and staggering miscarriage of justice that will change the course of his life. Written with deep insight into character, place and the nature of good and evil, the book combines history, suspense and courtroom drama as we follow a young man’s journey from despair, to purpose, and ultimately, to faith and redemption. With chilling resonance to issues of race and injustice alive today, this first novel by Ben T. Rowe brings to mind the words of William Faulkner, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
