Publisher Description
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.”

A Beautiful Story
Once I began reading this book, I had a hard time putting it down. I was drawn into the lives of the characters, and eager to see how time unfurled for each of them following a most shocking event. The book is not just a crime or courtroom thriller. In that department it does a great job. But it is also a story of human nature, mortality, and redemption. The settings of the Deep South are painted with a master’s brush. The dialog is top notch and had me laughing more than once. I highly recommend this book!
