When thirteen-year-old Jim discovers Sam, an older black man, fishing in his favorite spot one day, he has no idea his life is about to change. The two form a remarkable relationship and as the summer unfolds, Jim learns there is more to his new friend than he ever imagined-and that life's most valuable lessons are often the most painful. Hailed as "An excellent first novel" by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry, River Season tells the story of a young boy's magical summer in a small Texas town in the 1960s. Exploring the innocence, joy and heartbreak of youth, this semi-autobiographical tale grabs readers' hearts and does not let go.
