Where the River Ends by Charles Martin Broadway Books, NY 2008
|
He was a fishing guide from a Georgia trailer park. She was the beautiful
daughter of South Carolina’s most powerful senator. When they met by accident
they each felt they had found their true love.
Ten years into their marriage, Abbie faces a life-threatening illness and makes a
list of ten things she hopes to accomplish before she loses her fight. Doss
supports her and wants to make everything possible for her. In the middle of the
night, they embark upon a 130-mile trip down the St. Mary’s River---which is one
of her ten wishes.
Where the River Ends chronicles their tragedy-tinged journey and a bond that
transcends all.
