A novel by

 
 
River of Light is the story of Georgia country people and their struggles to work and keep their land. Though the novel is set in theThirties, it could well be contemporary: Lloyd Sloan desperately works his once-rich farm, loses it to the bankers, and fights to get himself and his family back to the land. This is the story of Lloyd's valiant struggle against his bad luck, and also the story of Jessie Walsh, a vivacious, though life-hardened migrant woman, whose radiant and healing spirit slowly works on Lloyd and the land and the people in their community.
