The River's Bend
by Beth Larson Sherk
After a devastating divorce, Leslie Hillerman, an artist in her mid-thirties, moves in as caretaker of The River’s Bend, a charming old farmhouse set on a river. Intending to isolate herself and find healing, she discovers she is not as alone as she thinks she is and that there is more to the place than just trees. It’s rife with ghosts—be they broken hearts or the kind that go bump in the night—mysteries, and the healing powers of the river. Dreaming of love’s return, Leslie discovers that love can be waiting in plain view and yet be completely out of sight.
Engaging from the first page until the last, The River’s Bend tells a warm, gently humorous tale of a city woman coming to live in the country—about eccentric country people, their dogs, and an unlikely middle-aged love affair.
