A Book We Love: Once Upon a River

Once Upon a River by Jo Bonnie CampbellOnce Upon a River

This is a story about a teenage girl coming of age and so much more.  This is not a book for the faint of heart, as Margo’s life is not an easy one.  Margo’s way of life is intertwined with the Stark River at first and later with the Kalamazoo.  Margo learns about grieving, family, and, above all, survival.  Follow Margo through her daily life on the river and the interesting people she meets.  In the end, it is up to the reader to decide if Margo’s life is in a good place.
