The Spirit of the River, a novel of uncommon passion and grace, weaves together the stories of two extraordinary people. Jack Anson is a young man who, after an intense and spiritual experience, turns his back on a life of privilege to follow his own path as a river guide. Terri Valle is a young woman determined to overcome an upbringing shaped by her strange, reclusive mother. When Terri's mother is found brutally murdered, Terri's journey becomes an unreal nightmare through a justice system intent on convicting her of the crime. As the case against Terri moves inexorably forward, Jack grows more and more desperate to save the life of the woman he loves.

This breakout first novel, rich in beauty and riveting suspense, will capture your hear and hold you until its shocking conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating!, March 16, 2009
This review is from: The Spirit of the River (Paperback)
Within 5 pages, I was hooked! While the story revolves around river rafting, its the characters and their lives that were spellbinding! The twists and turns this story takes continue to add to it - rather than weigh it down. I had to make myself stop reading it a few times because I simply did not want it to end. It had me up to the very last page and then I read that a few times, partly because my tears made it hard to read, partly because I didn't want it to end, but mostly because it was just a wonderful book from beginning to end. Diane McCarthy certainly has a way with the written word that speaks to me. I would love to see her continue writing such emotional and compelling stories like this one! I highly recommend this jewel of a book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Didn't want to put it down, January 11, 2009
By 
JET "John" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
I thought this was a great story. I didn't want to put it down and when I came to the end, I didn't want it to end. You can really visualize the characters in this novel. The writer does a great job at hooking you in right away and getting you involved.

Definetly a good read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A mystery that blends in romance, November 7, 2008
This review is from: The Spirit of the River (Paperback)
No one likes losing a relative, and being held responsible for it never helps. "The Spirit of the River" is the mystery of one Terri Valle, accused of her mother's murder, despite being as shocked as the police. Jack Anson, who has fallen for Terri, refuses to let love get away through a wrongful accusation and does whatever he can to clear her name. A mystery that blends in romance, "The Spirit of the River" is solid and riveting reading.
