The Singing River by R.K. Ryals
Genre: NA Contemporary
Cover Design: Regina Wamba of Mae I Design and Photography
Synopsis:
In Mississippi, there's a legend about a Singing River, a tragic love story that ended with an entire Indian tribe singing a death chant as they marched stoically into the Pascagoula River to die ...
At eighteen, Haven Ambrose isn't just a high school graduate. In her head, she's an aspiring writer, a traveler, a chef, a slayer of injustice, an astronomer, an archaeologist, and the love child of a famous, rich musician. But reality is harsher.
Reality is overdue bills, a crumbling trailer, an absent father, an old addiction, and a hot, crushing summer that may end in disappointment.
For twenty year-old River Brayden, life seems good, but appearances can be deceiving. The oldest son of a wealthy family, he has finished his first year at
Harvard to return home for the summer only to discover his younger brother headed down an unforgiving road.
They will be drawn together by a song. For during the late summer, they say the Pascagoula death chant can still be heard near the Singing River. Its call is haunting, its chant a testament of love and sacrifice. It calls to some ... beckoning.

Excerpt
I
stepped toward her. “You have a way of making people relate to you.”
She
snorted. “I doubt that.”
I
was in front of her now, my face peering down into hers. “Really, you do. A few
hours of knowing you feels like days.”
“Sounds
tiresome,” she teased.
“It’s
a gift,” I countered.
There
were sudden lines in her forehead, a troubled look in her eye. “Some might call
it a curse,” she murmured. “By the end of this trip, you’ll want me gone.”
It
was my turn to frown, my gaze studying her face. She had green eyes so dark they
could be mistaken for brown and lashes so long they almost touched her brows.
True, she was more willowy than curvy, but she was beautiful in an understated,
elegant kind of way. The faint freckles on the bridge of her nose drove me
crazy.
“Why
do you think that?” I asked.
There
was something stark and open about her eyes when she answered, “Because I am
better at being abandoned than I am at keeping people.”
