About this book
The Harlow house has stood over the river for ninety years, and three generations of Harlows have sworn — at different times, for different reasons — never to sell it. Now the river is rising, the roof is failing, and they are all coming home at once.
Tender, clear-eyed and quietly funny, Where the River Remembers is a novel about memory and the places that keep it: recipe cards in familiar handwriting, a porch swing with opinions, and the long work of forgiving the people you love most.
What’s inside

“The house remembered things they had all agreed to forget — that was the trouble with houses, her grandmother used to say. They keep better minutes than families do.”— Where the River Remembers by Marlowe Reed
