Amazon bestseller!
In this heart warming story set in Appalachia, the bonds among friends help them find their way through loss, uncertainty and, ultimately, hope. Step off the Appalachian Trail into River Rocks, West Virginia.

River Rocks, West Virginia looks like the peaceful small town pictured in the travel magazines featuring forests, fly fishing and fried chicken. Tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains, the people are like the small rocks that settle comfortably in the surrounding creeks and rivers, inert until a strong current sends them tumbling downstream searching for refuge. That’s exactly what happens one sunny morning in June as Bean, along with his friends Jake and Boyo, labor on the outskirts of town. When tragedy strikes before lunch, it sends them spiraling into unknown waters. As if that weren’t enough, a red-headed firecracker named Ruby explodes into their midst, causing another ripple of confusion as each of them struggle to regain balance.

Along the way they encounter unique characters: Sister Nancy, a nun in prison; Isaac, a psychiatric aide; Claire, a desperate widow; Denise, the ultimate church lady; and many, many more who contribute to their journey. Influenced by Alaskan Native and Appalachian wisdom, the foursome navigates through shadows and sunshine, as they grieve, love and laugh out loud.

If you enjoy Appalachian fiction novels, country wisdom and know how, and stories about friendship, you have come to the right place. C. Catherine Moore's debut novel will have you in stitches while immersing you in a rural diary of Appalachian modern folklore that will warm your heart. With unforgettable characters, small town values, and a sense of place so keenly observed that you can see the smoke-lined mountains in front of you, River Rocks reveals insight into human relations in a way that will make you miss the characters after the last page the way you would miss your best friend after a visit.

Wonderful read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was interesting and skillfully written, keeping me always curious about what was going to happen next to each character. The characters were so well developed that I felt that I knew them and will carry them in my heart For a long time to come. This is Moore’s debut novel and I hope we will be hearing more from her. I would particularly like a sequel of some sort as I want to see where life led the individuals characterized here in River Rocks. What kind of man does Boyo become? Does Ruby stay on her positive path? Does Bean’s health hold up? How does Jake and Suzan’s relationship go in the future? What becomes of Molly? I want to know...

I was drawn into this story on the first page. The characters are believable and I would love to be introduced to them in person. The book is well written and is very engaging. I read it in almost one setting -- bathroom and food breaks. I was sad to finish the book, and I'm sure I will read it again just in case I missed something. I loved the settings, both Alaska and West Virginia; both were described so well, I felt I was in the story myself. Carry on, Cathy. Waiting for the next book.

This is a well,written novel about some close friends in River Rocks, WV. The story focuses on 4 main characters and details their lives and interactions with each other. Each character must face some hard times, but each finds hope and contentment in the love of the others. This is a fun read!

Perfect story for a cozy day reading

Reviewed in the United States on 29 October 2020

Shorter days and lower temperatures mean more time inside, snuggled up reading, and River Rocks is the perfect book for that. You will enjoy getting to know the characters and wonder what they're up to far after the last page.
