RIVER RISING

This amazing performance by narrator Dion Graham captures the listener from the first sentence. The time and place of this riveting story is the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. A mysterious evil is present amid the Louisiana swamps. Reverend Hale Poser arrives in the little town of Pilotville, Louisiana, where things are not as they seem. Graham's reading is nothing less than astonishing. In portraying characters, he seamlessly switches from Negro slave to arrogant landowner to weeping mother. Listeners will find themselves on the edge of their seats as the story’s theme of redemption plays out. N.L.
