Fiery Rivers
by Daefyd Williams
Fiery Rivers is the coming-of-age story of Devon, a ten-year-old boy who lives with his Pentecostal parents in Ohio in the sixties. One day, he commits a sin that engenders a lifelong struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder. As he attempts to disentangle himself from the disorder, he becomes aware of sex. Intriguing, unexpected scenes of magical realism enliven the narrative.
