The Inn at Shining Waters #3
by Melody Carlson
The peaceful waters of the Siuslaw River provide rest and healing to those who come to stay at The Inn of Shining Waters. But all is not peaceful as Anna's granddaughter Sarah struggles in the turbulent 70s to find her own peace and place.
River's End is end of the journey for generations of Siuslaw women as Anna, her daughter Lauren, and Sarah learn to adjust to the changes that life brings. But throughout the river remains a constant.
When Sarah returns after a two year absence she is embittered against her parents for the neglect she suffered during her childhood. Living in a communal setting while seeking a spiritual fix has left Sarah a confused, angry, and damaged young woman.
Anna warns Sarah about the poison of unforgiveness. At a time of family crisis Sarah has a fight with her mother that causes Sarah to feel that she no longer fits in at Shining Waters. Sarah again disappears from the lives of those who love her. As Anna, Clark and Lauren search for Sarah they learn that they must let each other travel their own Trail of Tears until they find their way home
As the women of Shining River learn to let go of their insecurities, fears, and bitterness they all grow as people and in their relationships with each other. River's End is a story of faith and family.
