Written in a southern voice that allows the reader to become totally involved in this sweet story with endearing characters.
In a small southern town a young white girl becomes close to the family housekeeper, Peony and then Peony’s sister Pansy recently out of jail and looking after Jordan’s step grandmother, a elderly sweet woman who fortunately get released from an old folks home. There are more lively characters like chronically pouting Gertie, Aunt Rose ( part of the all flowered named women) and honey boy her challenged son. Add a few adventures and you get a enjoyable, very readable novel showing the strength in good old fashion values and kindness to others ( )

I love all of Augusta Trobaugh's books, and this one is no exception. It's a wonderful book on so many levels and captures the essence of what relationship and redemption truly look like. ( )

What a wonderful book river Jordan is. I enjoyed it as much as I did Praise Jerusalem. Trobaugh does a wonderful job on this story about a dysfunctional southern family. The characters are engaging and the novel is well written. It delivers an uplifting wonderful message about finding oneself in spite of difficulties and toxic people in our lives. I highly recommend this wonderful story. ( )

If I could give this book a negative star rating, I would. One of the worst books I've ever read -- so glad I picked it up as a bargain book and didn't pay full price. It's so bad, it's laughable -- even the editing is blatantly poor.

They'll publish anything these days. ( )
