The River Is Always Waiting

by Stephen Measure

Attraction is something that you feel, not something that you are.

Forced from their cabin seclusion by a mountain storm, Dana and young Alice must accept help from a man Dana had hoped to never see again, a man she no longer trusts—because she knows what darkness calls to him and to what depths he might fall.

Except, let's be blunt—that's not what this book is really about. For too long the world has claimed that attraction is who we are, neglecting to consider the consequences that such logic invites. And society shifts, backs turned against the virtue of resistance, the world afraid to even imagine a man from whom restraint could be expected.

And so, the pleasant wisdom of the past rejected, it's time to use a less comfortable approach. It's time to meet a man the world has been ignoring, time to face him and his story. It's time for us to realize that everyone, absolutely everyone, can choose to resist.

Reviews

[Tonya · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a novel, but could also be described as a treatise on desires and subsequent actions. You may not agree with everything the author proposes, but there is some excellent analysis on resisting temptation of any kind.
