Where the River Bends: A Memoir
Barry Raine has the gift of writing a detailed account of an incident that literally changed his life. His detail places you right next to him as a silent observer at the moment of fear and the trauma in his mind as he relives that night that started out innocently. Descriptions of his family interactions and those with others are so pure the reader will never forget them. I would like to hear more from this author. Soooo Good.

This review is from: Where the River Bends (Hardcover)
I read this sad book in one long evening. Because it was slim, yes, but more because it wouldn't leave my hands. Mr. Raine has a powerful (and horrible) story, but what makes this book brilliant is the angles he chooses to explore the story; the not-obvious prisms he holds up for us to look through. He does his characters -- all real people, of course -- the honor of bringing them to life on the page as much as they are in New Orleans, or his memory.
