Customer Reviews

The story line was very good, and it was very well written.

Beyond the dark river was a fine book. The story line was fabulous and the characters were very interesting. I think the whole book was good and what happened was well explained but what I did not get is the way she just let Daughter of she who came after and Benjamin go off to there own places at the end.She said that they would meet again, but what happens next? Laura

A realistic story of the time when governments have ended.

When all the children of his village are sick, Jonathan embarks on a dangerous journey to a Native American healer. Instead he finds the healer's grand-daughter, who is being trained as a healer, also. She agrees to come with him to the dangerous city where Jonathan almost gets burned alive by the mis-shapen people who still live there. A powerful story of a coming of age of two young lovers.
