After losing the man she loves, her unborn child, and her
career as a ballerina, Rosalyn Byrne decides to bring
balance back to her chaotic life by renting a farm on a
coastal island in Georgia. Rosalyn believes the out of the
way farm will allow her privacy and the peace to mourn the
loss of her old life, but a young ten year old girl named
Damascus reads about Rosalyn's accident before her arrival
on Manny Island and is convinced that Rosalyn is no ordinary
woman.
The farm Rosalyn rents is owned by the Trezevant family. Ivy
Cain and her brother, Urey Trezevant inherited the family
home. However, rumors run rampant that the farm has been
haunted for generations. The strange looks from the locals
and the other-wordly aura around the house do little to sway
Rosalyn from staying in the house. But when an alligator
suddenly finds itself in Rosalyn's home during her first
night in the house, she is forced to admit that perhaps
staying in a farm in the middle of nowhere was not a good
idea. When Urey Trezevant meets Rosalyn with a shot gun,
Rosalyn realizes her dream of a peaceful getaway has
vanished. Although Urey terrifies Rosalyn, she soon begins
to see that Urey is one of the most intriguing men she has
ever met.
Rosalyn soon finds herself visited by Urey's daughter,
Damascus. Damascus believes that Rosalyn has some super
natural abilities which call alligators to her side. But
Rosalyn only sees a lonely child who lost her mother at a
very early age to cancer. Although Rosalyn attempts to win
Damascus' heart, all Damascus cares about is the pumpkin
patch on the farm, which is her only connection to her
mother.
As Rosalyn gets to know the Trezevant family, she realizes
the extent of the pain caused by Fawn Trezevant's death.
Damascus lives solely to care for the pumpkin patch which
she promised her mother she would care for, and Urey
Trezevant lives only to avoid opening his heart to loss and
heartache, even to his own daughter. When Rosalyn attempts
to bring father and daughter together, she finds herself
healing her own wounds and quieting the ghosts from her own
past.
THE RIVER WITCH is a charmingly written novel with a
sprinkle of the supernatural. Kimberly Brock takes readers
into the heart of a young child with a vast imagination.
Brock does a splendid job at developing the friendship
between Rosalyn and Damascus. I also enjoyed the scenes
between Rosalyn and Urey. Not only is Rosalyn fascinated by
Urey, but readers will also find be eager to learn
everything there is to know about Damascus's father. THE
RIVER WITCH is a sweet family tale which readers will enjoy
from page one. Kimberly Brock delivers a tender story
written straight from the heart. THE RIVER WITCH is just too
sweet to miss!
Can the river heal her? Roslyn Byrne is twenty-four years
old, broken in body, heart and soul. Her career as a
professional ballet dancer ended with a car wreck and a
miscarriage, leaving her lost and grieving. She needs a new
path, but she doesn\'t have the least idea how or where to
start. With some showing from her very Southern mama, she
immures herself for the summer on Manny\'s Island, Georgia,
one of the Sea Isles, to recover.
