From The River People

The River People is a novel-in-progress which treats the trials and triumphs of a small band who have achieved fellowship and seek a land for the sustaining of that fellowship. Julian, their reluctant leader, comes across a crude map during his travels in the American West. That map and the group’s commitment to find a home lead them to West Africa and Brazil. They wind up near Cincinnati where Julian is rehearsing his story for the press.
