The River Cries (ePub)

After traveling different roads of life for over thirty years, what began as 'puppy love' for two teenagers morphed into a poignant bittersweet love story. The clandestine affair they shared a few days a year for over a decade shattered when tragedy struck while Rhemi lay in the arms of her lover, Justin. Can Rhemi overcome her guilt or are the two destined to be lost souls forever?

Cheri Dine (Thomas) Wendland writes under the pen-name of Cheri Dean. Cheri has been a closet writer for more years than she likes to think about and only began her publishing career in December of 2021 with the release of A Dance Farewell. Her readers encouraged her to move forward in seeing more of her novels in print. We're glad she did. Though her books lean towards the feminine gender, she is surprised at how well they have been received by her male audience. Indications are, it's because they deal with life at its best and at its worst. A number of her followers say Cheri's books are so visual, they're like reading a movie. Cheri is a wife, a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She currently lives with her husband, Charles, in Northern Virginia and is looking forward to moving closer to her southern roots in Wilmington, North Carolina, late this summer. She has lived in eight states at various times and thirty-four houses. Like her mother, she thinks she has wings on her feet. We happen to agree.
