The River Witch | Kimberly Brock
3 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Broken in body and spirit, she secludes herself in the mystical wilderness of a Georgia island. Can she find herself in the sweetness of old songs, old ways, and the gentle magic of the river people? "Kimberly Brock has an amazing voice and a huge heart; The River Witch welcomes the reader to a haunted landscape, authentically Southern, where the tragedies of the past and the most fragile, gorgeous kind of love-soaked hope are equally alive. This is one debut that you absolutely should not miss."-Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times Bestselling Author of Gods in Alabama "Kimberly Brock's The River Witch achieves what splendid writing ought to achieve-story and character that linger in the reader's consciousness. Such is the power of Roslyn Byrne, who retreats to Manny's Island, Georgia, in search of herself, only to discover her great need of others. Tender and intriguing, often dazzling in its prose, this is a mature work of fiction worthy of the celebration of praise."-Terry Kay, internationally known author of the classic novel, To Dance With The White Dog "There is magic and wonder in The River Witch, but the real enchantment here is the strength of the characters Roslyn and Damascus. Their voices are the current that carries the reader along in this compelling tale of healing and discovery."- Sharyn McCrumb, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Ballad of Tom Dooley "With lyrical prose, Kimberly Brock explores the hidden places of the heart. The River Witch is a magical and bewitching story that, like a river, winds its way through the soul. In the voices of her wounded characters, Brock takes us through both the breaking and the healing of a life." -Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Perfect Love Song Kimberly Brock is a native Southerner, a former actor and special needs educator. Her work has appeared in anthologies and magazines. She lives with her husband and three children north of Atlanta, Georgia. The River Witch is her first novel. Visit her at KimberlyBrockBooks.com.

Another book pulled from my TBR. Every single review of this calls it "magical". Really. Every one. Have any of you Littens read this one about life by #theriver in the South? #rockinmay

Cinfhen I'm familiar with the title and cover....but something keeps holding me back with this one🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @Cinfhen I know. May be just a tad too magical...? 8y
Cinfhen Perhaps!!! Something just isn't right 🤔 8y

Dogearedcopy @lithousewife Was this the book that you hosted a read-along for a couple years ago? The one with the pumpkin scene? 8y
LitHousewife @Dogearedcopy Yeah. If you picked that one up because of me, I'm sorry. It was so weird. 8y
Dogearedcopy I read this one a couple of years ago (see comments above) and didn't care for it. Either I was too boorish to appreciate the symbolism (?) or it was just head-desk worthy lame. 8y
