Reviews
"I was awestruck by this brilliant novel! I know that "authenticity" isn't the sexiest takeaway, but on my honor, page after riveting page, I asked myself, "How did he know this? How is this so moving, so real, so close to the bone?" Bravo, Wally Lamb. Not that you needed another masterpiece to demonstrate your unerring eye, ear, and signature heart, but may I say The River is Waiting might crown them all." --Elinor Lipman, author of Every Tom, Dick & Harry and Ms. Demeanor, " The River is Waiting is an ambitious, affecting novel that's not afraid to look directly at human suffering, and to map out the pain we inflict on others, and on ourselves. With an unflinching eye and an unsentimental compassion for his characters, Wally Lamb finds glimmers of hope and healing and decency in the darkest places." --Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of The Leftovers and Little Children, "Riveting... Lamb expertly shows [Corby's] arduous, bumpy progression... a gripping [...] story of grief, guilt, and healing." -- Kirkus, "Wally Lamb has always written with compassion for all of his characters, no matter their flaws. But here, in this moving exploration of an otherwise good man and loving father who happens to be an addict, Lamb goes deeply into what it means not only to survive tragedy, but to actually heal from it by stepping tentatively into real forgiveness. I could not put down The River is Waiting , and I predict that you won't be able to either." --Andre Dubus III, New York Times bestselling author of House of Sand and Fog and Ghost Dogs

Synopsis
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of two Oprah Book Club Picks - She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True - comes the propulsive story of a young father who, after an unbearable tragedy, reckons with the possibility of atonement for the unforgivable., From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of two Oprah Book Club Picks-- She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True --Wally Lamb comes the propulsive story of a young father who, after an unbearable tragedy, reckons with the possibility of atonement for the unforgivable. Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage to his beloved Emily into a tailspin. And that's before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship with a prison librarian who sees his light and some of his fellow offenders, including a tender-hearted cellmate and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them and by his mother's enduring faith in him, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)

They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
