Review Quotes: 'The River Muse is brimming with gaiety and delight, in both plot and place, and yet this novel does not shy away from the very real dangers of escaping an unhealthy relationship. As the protagonist--and an entire community--gathers strength to stand up to dark forces, we see the power of resolve and resilience. To borrow a line from the book, this work is 'A song . . . A song beyond space and time.' It is a song, calling to us all: Be delighted by the world while simultaneously standing up for one another.'--Laura Pritchett, author of Three Keys
