When he gets lost in a snowstorm, Will Tom Sunday helps him find his new home. The family's new Panhandle house and farm seem harsh and desolate to Jake.

    Fall in love with the Rivers Family

    Each book in the Rivers' trilogy stands alone, but in 'Rivers' Ebb' we get to know Jake as a young adult - it is well worth the read. I defy any reader to not fall in love with Jake and his family.
