River People is a powerful novel with unforgettable characters.

In Nebraska, in the late 1890s, 17-year-old Effie and 11-year-old Bridget must struggle to endure at a time when women and children had few rights, and society looked upon domestic abuse as a private family matter.

The story is told through the eyes of the girls as they learn to survive under grueling circumstances. River People is a novel of inspiration, love, loss, and renewal.

I enjoyed this book; however, I would have enjoyed it better if there wasn’t so much animal abuse. It really was unnecessary and makes me wonder if the author just hates all animals.

River people is a tale of how strong people we can be in the midst of hardship and how we find different ways to cope. I love how well the Margaret Lukas builds some unusual characters so that you feel like you know them. It starts out a little slow but stay with it, I finished this book and looked for more by Margaret Lukas.

Great listen!

I love books written about times gone by and this book shares things about how hard women were treated in a time gone by. The story line depicts the suffrage many women had to endure

This was a really great, some times hard to hear book about survival, heartache, and times during the the late 1800’s. Enjoy.
