Across the Winding River

Across the Winding River

From the Editor

Whenever I visit my parents, I love digging through boxes of old family relics. I thrill at the potential treasures I’ll unearth, hoping I’ll happen upon something secret that offers a window into a loved one’s past. Which is why I was so captivated by this breathtaking book of hope, love, and the enduring power of the past.

In Across the Winding River, protagonist Beth Cohen’s ailing father asks her to collect his World War II memorabilia. Max had served as a medic on the western front and is eager to revisit this chapter of his life; Beth sees it as an opportunity to know her father even more intimately. But Max’s belongings—and one photograph in particular—lead to more questions than answers.

Author Aimie K. Runyan seamlessly weaves the past with the present as Beth digs into her father’s wartime days. In the process, Beth discovers Max’s life touched others in ways she never knew—and changes hers as a result. That’s what’s so powerful about this book. It’s a reminder that we all carry the past with us. Sometimes it’s easier to turn away from it, but there’s so much more to learn by letting it in.
