FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Clint Hurley and his faithful Australian Cattle Dog, Josie, save a runaway girl from drowning, on a snowy Christmas Day. Now he is faced with a choice. Should he turn her over to the authorities or "rescue" her from far more than the river?I continue moving and Josie is down the bank racing toward the river. My heart is pounding at the uncertainty of this. I negotiate the bank cautiously. She is at the waters edge and barking continuously. The last flicker of sun is enough for me to see that the yellow kayak, moving our way, contains a small child. The kayak will be past us in just a moment as the steady current is moving it along at a firm pace. A runaway child, in a kayak on the river, on a snowy Christmas Day. This is like a scene from a movie but there is no Matt Damon to rescue her. There is only an old man and a young dog. As I am contemplating what to do the situation turns brusquely grave. She leans too far to one side and the kayak capsizes. She is struggling to stay above water as the kayak is carried away with the current. Review "The mark of a great book is being drawn into the story from the very first few pages. Beasley accomplishes this by introducing you to the main character in such a way that has you hoping and praying for him by the end of the first chapter. I was thoroughly engaged on a very human emotional level. Cant wait to see where this goes!"--Jayne Malach, Retired Librarian "The Girl in the River is a definite page turner that captures your attention early and holds it throughout the whole book. Ive read everything Billy Beasley has written and this is his finest piece thus far!"--Todd Osborne, Avid reader"Billy Beasleys knack for writing about real-life issues that invoke an emotional bond with his characters creates a hunger for the next chapter...his first, The River Hideaway was so mesmerizing it would play well on the big screen!"--Debbie Neal, Avid reader "Billy Beasley has become my favorite author. His first novel, The River Hideaway, should be made into a movie. It is that good. I just read the opening chapter of The Girl In The River. The characters captivated me from the first sentence and I literally had tears in my eyes. I will pull an all nighter when this book is finally in my hands."--Wylene Booth McDonald, Retired Merck & Company "Billys ability to set a scene that has you seeing the story while you read is incredible. The story immediately draws you in and the characters are developed in a way that you feel youve known them for years. He tells an honest story about love and shares the vulnerable truth that the inevitable price of true love is loss. The Girl in the River is a story that will be hard to put down, and will be remembered long after the last page is read."--Katie Olivolo, Former professor, UNCW & Coastal Carolina "I cant wait to read this "book! I have read this authors other books and could not put them down!!The characters all seem so real and raw and true! The story line grabs your attention and keeps you riveted."--Karen Kapusta, Lifepoint Church"Your first book, The River Hideaway, was one of two of my all time favorites. The Girl in The River may even be my all time number one favorite of all the books I have read. Such real life characters and an intriguing story line make this book impossible to put down."--Linda Brown"Once again, Billy Beasley has upheld his reputation as an amazing storyteller, with "The Girl in the River". The voice of his character, Clint is like a conversation with a wise and trusted friend. Another incredible story."--Mary Ellen Poole, Avid reader"This was an enjoyable read. I felt a connection to each character. Each paragraph left me anxious to read the next.--Cynthia Chapman, Retired music teacher"...You will not want to put it down, but you will not want it to end."--Kristy Huddle, Acquisitions editor, Comfort Publishing Long Description Clint Hurley and his faithful Australian Cattle Dog, Josie, save a runaway girl from drowning, on a snowy Christmas Day.
