Synopsis

Where the River Ebbs is the story of young Owen and Luke, exploring the outdoors on Sunday afternoons in the rural south.

Told from the perspective of 12-year-old Owen, it opens with his attempt to prove his mettle and wisdom to his friend Luke by his nervy attempt to pick grapes, standing on an old bullet-ridden car with a nest of angry hornets inside.

Subsequent chapters narrate Owen and Luke’s back-stories, their adventures outdoors, and the church-centered community’s slower ways of the south.

Frequently, Owen, the less rural and more insecure of the two, tries to grow up a bit too fast, sometimes tripping over his own wild notions of how things ought to be done, and trying to prove his worth to the wise and woodsy Luke.

A mysterious theft from the church gives Owen a reason to demonstrate his skills of deduction. But is Cato the thief, the only “different” and new stranger in the community? In the end, sorting through clues, experiencing a dramatic reversal, and guided by the wisdom of others, Owen learns the biblical lesson of not judging a book, or a Samaritan, by its cover.
