Editorial Reviews

A River Moves Forward is a great epic novel of historical value. The story begins with a family moving to Chicago in the 1950s to put an extramarital affair behind them. After setting the scene of the family background the story eventually focuses on Connie Morris, daughter of an abusive father and a tough talking mother. Spanning three generations this touching family drama touches on many sensitive issues. Quite an emotional experience and a rich and rewarding read.

Fischer Book Reviews - Christopher Fisher

Life can be complicated and life can be heartbreaking; in fact, there are times when life smiles upon you, but you just can't accept the happiness. "A River Moves Forward" is a tumultuous tale of an African American family's struggle. Selena Haskins provides a well-laid examination into the cause and effects of emotional, physical and substance abuse. She even ventures into identity and cultural issues within race and society. I encourage you to get lost in Selena's powerful story.
