This book describes a love relationship when it attempts to cross the cultural divide.
This is a three-voiced narrative about two people who come from vastly different cultural backgrounds. He is a young iconoclast from Honduras, with searching brown eyes, a loner whose Caribbean rhythm contradicts his kingly gait. She is older, intuitive, graceful, an American woman with a love of art and beauty. Their relationship explodes on the dance floor in a riveting, pulsating merengue Neither has any idea of where this dance wil lead them, but the excitement of the moment has sparked a passion that cannot be denied. A year later, their lives are enveloped in betrayal, denial, a breach of federal immigration law, and a baby that will unite them forever.
Excerpt
One moment in time, one small occurrence, one seemingly insignificant decision can sometimes change the course of a person's life forever.

Imagine meeting Mr. Right in the club at the weekly Latin Party. A fresh dance class, ready able to show her new steps off, our unnamed main character is approached by the sexy, pecan-colored Mario Renee Mendez...
Two sides to the story
The River Returns is a well written book. It kept me interested. Mr. Mendez was quite a character. I think he had more good in himself than he was willing to acknowledge in his life...
Love this book
I love this book. It was filled with a lot of emotion and real life experience. As a Garifuna woman, I know first hand the culture and male roles in our community. It was exciting to read about my culture in an interesting story line and how it is viewed from the outside in. Good read. Shows strength of spirit.
