The River Rose Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

The Mississippi Flood of 1927 unleashed a deluge that forever altered the lives of countless families. Among them, the Paynes, hardworking sharecroppers, and Governor Leroy Percy, a man of immense influence. As the waters surged, their paths converged in a battle against nature's fury and the perennial challenges of fatherhood. At the helm of the Payne family, Arthur "AD" Payne toils as both a sharecropper and muleskinner for Governor Percy, navigating a complex web of allegiances. Their sons, William and Orange 'O', grapple with their own reckonings amidst the rising waters. With over 700,000 displaced, and a million acres submerged beneath ten feet of unforgiving floodwaters, the struggle for survival becomes a beacon for resilience, revealing the true measure of a family's strength. In this meticulously researched and emotionally resonant novella, the specter of disaster looms large, casting shadows that reveal the unbreakable bonds of kinship and the unconquerable human spirit.

"The River Rose" stands out for its unique blend of historical events and personal narratives. The setting of the 1927 Mississippi Flood is not commonly explored in literature, which adds to the book’s
uniqueness.

Jordan’s writing is eloquent and vivid, effectively capturing the era and the emotional landscape of the
characters. The descriptive passages are particularly noteworthy, bringing the scenes to life with rich
detail and authenticity.

The story arc is well-constructed, with a clear progression from the introduction of characters and
setting, through the rising action of the flood, to the climax and resolution. The arc is satisfying and
well-paced, keeping the reader engaged throughout.

"The River Rose" by Savahn Jordan is a beautifully written novella that successfully combines
historical context with a compelling family saga. Its strength lies in its character development,
historical accuracy, and emotional depth. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy historical fiction
and stories about human resilience and family dynamics.
