Once Upon a River: A Novel - Softcover
“A demonstration of outstanding skills on the river of American literature.” ―Entertainment Weekly
"Bonnie Jo Campbell has built her new novel like a modern-day craftsman from the old timbers of our national myths about loners living off the land, rugged tales as perilous as they are alluring. Without sacrificing any of its originality, this story comes bearing the saw marks of classic American literature, the rough-hewn sister of The Leatherstocking Tales, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Walden.”―Ron Charles, Washington Post"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author:
Bonnie Jo Campbell teaches in the low-residency MFA program at Pacific University. The author of Once Upon a River, American Salvage, and Mothers, Tell Your Daughters, she lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Review:
“With all the fixings of a Johnny Cash song―love, loss, redemption―Campbell captures these Michiganders and their earthy, brutal paradise in tales rich with insight and well worth the trip.”
- Elle
“Campbell has a ruthless and precise eye for the details of the physical world. . . . An excellent American parable about the consequences of our favorite ideal, freedom.”
- Jane Smiley, New York Times Book Review
“Margo’s struggle to survive proves irresistible, like the tug of the Stark itself.”

Bonnie Jo Campbell has created an unforgettable heroine in sixteen-year-old Margo Crane, a beauty whose unflinching gaze and uncanny ability with a rifle have not made her life any easier. After the violent death of her father, Margo takes to the river in search of her mother with only a biography of Annie Oakley to her name. Her river odyssey through rural Michigan becomes a defining journey, one that leads her beyond self-preservation and to deciding what price she is willing to pay for her choices.
