About the book:
Romance, deception, and M**der erupt when the use of modern-day practices pits one farmer who has faith in the ancient wisdom of husbandry against another who uses chemicals and exploits farm workers, while the son of the first and the daughter of the last try to rise above the war that engulfs them. Part climate fiction, part mystery, part romance, all set against a deeply atmospheric rural-Michigan backdrop.
Acclaim for the book:
"For fans of Delia Owens, Bonnie Jo Campbell, William Faulkner, and the more literary end of John Green’s audience, Black River is an atmospheric and affecting read with fantastic characters." -- Maria Ashford, Bookshelfie
"The river of Yvonne Osborne’s title flows through this compulsively readable novel and kept me turning its pages late into the night. The gorgeous writing is an added bonus." --M.J. Werthman White, author of Invitation to the Party
"I couldn’t put Black River down! Part climate fiction, part mystery, part romance, all tied together with Yvonne Osborne’s tender and gorgeous prose. A fantastic beach read, and an even better ‘cabin read.’ Get cozy!" –- Megan Okonsky, author of the Barefoot Followers of Sweet Potato Grace
About the author:
A Pushcart-nominated poet and novelist, Yvonne Osborne lives with her husband on a fifth-generation family farm in the Thumb of Michigan. Her writing is rooted in the land, the water, and the complicated lives of the people who work both — and Black River is no exception.
