Synopsis:
In Mississippi, there's a legend about a Singing River, a
tragic love story that ended with an entire Indian tribe singing a death chant
as they marched stoically into the Pascagoula River to die ...
At eighteen, Haven Ambrose isn't just a high school
graduate. In her head, she's an aspiring writer, a traveler, a chef, a slayer
of injustice, an astronomer, an archaeologist, and the love child of a famous,
rich musician. But reality is harsher. Reality is overdue bills, a crumbling
trailer, an absent father, an old addiction, and a hot, crushing summer that
may end in disappointment.
For twenty year-old River Brayden, life seems good, but
appearances can be deceiving. The oldest son of a wealthy family, he has
finished his first year at Harvard to return home for the summer only to
discover his younger brother headed down an unforgiving road.
They will be drawn together by a song. For during the late
summer, they say the Pascagoula death chant can still be heard near the Singing
River. Its call is haunting, its chant a testament of love and sacrifice. It
calls to some ... beckoning.

Excerpt:
I stepped toward her. “You have a way of making people
relate to you.”
She snorted. “I doubt that.”
I was in front of her now, my face peering down into hers.
“Really, you do. A few hours of knowing you feels like days.”
“Sounds tiresome,” she teased.
“It’s a gift,” I countered.
There were sudden lines in her forehead, a troubled look in
her eye. “Some might call it a curse,” she murmured. “By the end of this trip,
you’ll want me gone.”
It was my turn to frown, my gaze studying her face. She had
green eyes so dark they could be mistaken for brown and lashes so long they
almost touched her brows. True, she was more willowy than curvy, but she was
beautiful in an understated, elegant kind of way. The faint freckles on the
bridge of her nose drove me crazy.
“Why do you think that?” I asked.
There was something stark and open about her eyes when she
answered, “Because I am better at being abandoned than I am at keeping people.”
