Time is a River - A Personal Review
I was totally inspired by Mia's story. Mia will quickly become your very best friend and you will experience her adventure, her emotions and her victories. This is a book you will want all of your friends to read! There are even discussion questions in the back of my paperback copy -- great for any book club.
Time Is a River (Indie Next Pick)
made me feel good. Yes, it is a novel and yes, it includes some mystery and some romance. But the key to this book is in Mia's emotional healing, facing her fears, becoming her own woman -- and as Mia grows as a person, so do her readers.

I think you will always remember reading this book. As you read Mia's story, you will find yourself reflecting on your own story. I know I did. This was a reading experience. I enjoyed the story - could not put the book down. But I also was deeply touched by it.

Mia thought, "I write these words down because I do not want them to come back into my heart. By writing these words down I must face the feelings. It is strange how I feel a shiver of the feeling when I say the word aloud. I shall read the words over and over until that feeling is gone. These are the feelings of the lost. I am not lost."
If you have read Time is a River, please rate it..

"Standing in the river with the water rushing at her ankles and the light of the fireflies in her eyes, she too felt part of the river's enduring flow. She heard gurgles and splashes as the voice of the river and she closed her eyes,listening. Let go and follow me.....

From an Amazon Review by Emlyn54
It's hard to discuss the story itself because I don't want to reveal too much. This is a story that deserves to be savored. Each reader needs to discover the wonders of Watkins Mill, its human inhabitants, its natural wonders, and the spirit of Kate Watkins which lingers there, to help Mia with her journey toward not just recovery, but change, growth and enlightenment.
Thank you, Mary Alice Monroe, for visiting this lens! I am honored! I loved Time is A River!
