Rubine River

by David Ray Skinner

Overview

This is a tapestry of stories; one thread is about a young slave in pre-war (and Civil War) South Carolina, another is the narrative of a Chicago-born alcoholic vet suffering from PTSD who is waylaid while homelessly drifting and traveling the interstates and backroads of America. Their stories begin to intertwine (along with those of other present-day and antebellum characters) and are eventually woven together with forgiveness and redemption on the banks of the ever-flowing Rubine River.
