River of Courage

River of Courage, is set in the beautiful river bottom community of Boswell along the White River in the Ozark Mountains of North Arkansas; the author’s boyhood home. Here, author Jerry Smith documents the struggle of three generations of common people who showed uncommon courage in a time of crisis. Couched in the prophecy of an old Cherokee visionary, courage is revealed and forged through the lives of various people along the “Big White.” The great, and sometimes terrifying, adventures these common people experience in the hills they call home, will prepare them to face greater fears and crises to come even half way around the world and in the deepest recesses of their hearts.
