Product Description
On a balmy October night in New Orleans, a group of teenage students gathers to listen to music and drink wine on the bank of the Mississippi River. In the midst of their revelry, a lone young man approaches them as a friendly stranger. In the following hour, he commits acts of sexual violence that have permanent lasting effects on his four young victims. In an intimate, unsparingly honest first-person account, Barry Raine, one of the victims, recounts this brutal encounter. Meditating on race, social class, male honor, and the rigid mores of the South, the author weaves a disturbing but ultimately hopeful story of loss and redemption. ... Read more

Great Book!
Where the River Bends: A Memoir

Barry Raine has the gift of writing a detailed account of an incident that literally changed his life.His detail places you right next to him as a silent observer at the moment of fear and the trauma in his mind as he relives that night that started out innocently.Descriptions of his family interactions and those with others are so pure the reader will never forget them. I would like to hear more from this author. Soooo Good.

Buy this book
I read this sad book in one long evening. Because it was slim, yes, but more because it wouldn't leave my hands. Mr. Raine has a powerful (and horrible) story, but what makes this book brilliant is the angles he chooses to explore the story; the not-obvious prisms he holds up for us to look through. He does his characters -- all real people, of course -- the honor of bringing them to life on the page as much as they are in New Orleans, or his memory. ... Read more

useful prep for better scores
A nice book to learn about the LEAP tests. It gives concise reviews of what kids needs to know, so you can check their readiness. The test taking tips are very useful for young students to raise scores. Informed parents can make a big difference in children's test prep. Note that such a thin book doesn't do much to improve math or reading. That requires daily learning in school and study in home. There is a nice web site http://www.beestar.org you can use every week to assess your child's skills step by step. With the fundamentals in place, this book helps to get a better result. ...
