Writing-wise, There were a ton of characters and at times it was a bit hard to keep track of them. Additionally, the first half of the book was a little slow but the second half was very interesting and kept you reading.

I could not put down this novel. Avery could not discover the truth fast enough for me. Wingate really brought to life this hidden tragedy in American history. It was heart wrenching and just awful as each sibling disappeared from Rill. All the characters were given a really nice depth and the river was beautifully written. I met the author who wrote this book and she said that she always gives you a happy ending, so I had to just keep telling myself that and the ending really was nice.
