The year is 1992... or is it 1979? It's a connection you never want to lose: those childhood friendships that meant everything to you as you were growing up. It's a bond that only a child can understand, simply because they haven't grown up yet. YESTERDAY'S RIVER is an adult author's journey into the wilderness of his own childhood, where friendships actually meant something and brothers looked out for each other. As he consults his muse, the writer's mind wanders back to a time when the Mojave River of his hometown offered a path to follow- but because it's an unpredictable and unreliable river of the desert, there is no way to smoothly navigate its course. The result is a childhood washed away by memories of the future. "Pain and loss are universal. The human heart and mind will do amazing things to try and deal with them." YESTERDAY'S RIVER -a powerful new novel by author Sean McDevitt- is a parable on resilience, as seen through the eyes of a young boy- and yet it can be appreciated by anyone.
