Dive into "Peace Like a River" and find yourself emmersed in life in the Dakota plains in the early 1960s. As we follow 11 year old Rube Land and his family, we learn about the love of a family, the power of forgiveness, the question of justice, and the existence of miracles. Can a miracle exist without a witness?

Rube's 9 year old sister is one of my favorite characters of all time. Don't miss an opportunity to meet her!
