River Rising by Athol Dickson

Enjoyment Score 3
A historical novel set in the 1920's in a small river community on the Mississippi River. The Reverend Hale Poser arrives searching for information about his past and things are forever changed. This book draws you in right from the start. Just when you think you know where the author is going with the storyline, he takes it in a different direction. Right up to the very end he keeps you guessing as to how it will all end.

Faith Score 2
Reverend Hale Poser is a man of genuine faith. The author shows us the trials, struggles and pitfalls that he must endure and overcome to grow that faith.

Purpose Score 3
A powerful and thought provoking novel that deals with racial divide in the community and the church. This story will open your eyes to the racial injustices of the past and the ones which remain today.

Page-turner Score 2

Tearjerker Score 1

I highly recommend that you read this book, you won't be disappointed.
