Discover an Epic Tale of Love, Loss, and Resilience

Trauma can shatter our lives in an instant.
Recovering joy can take a lifetime.

Meet John, a thoughtful eight-year-old boy caught between his grieving parents. His overprotective mother and reckless father each cope with loss in their own ways. Defying his mother, John goes ice fishing with his father and ventures too far out, leading to a life-altering trauma...

Fast forward twenty years: John has buried his past deep within, living a successful yet unfulfilling life. When he meets Claire, a passionate and volatile older woman, she reignites John's desire for true connection. Both scarred by their pasts, they struggle to maintain intimacy. Claire challenges John to confront his childhood trauma, revealing a shocking detail that escalates his anxiety about life, death, and commitment.

Faced with new losses, John and Claire must choose: embrace love and life’s mystery or succumb to trauma and rage.

Source of a River is the beautifully written and profoundly powerful story of enduring love and the relentless pursuit of healing. Dive into this gripping novel and discover what it means to truly live.
