Young for his age, Porter Jr.,leaves his rural Georgia home in 1838 to meet the world at Willingham University, armed with the knowledge that he has been "Raised Right" in the best Baptist tradition. What happens over the next four years will challenge the things he holds infallible: his faith, his heritage, and his parents' omniscience. As we follow Porter's college career, full of outrageous pranks and ribald humor, we sense a quiet, constant flowtowards maturity. Peppered with memorable characters and resonant with detail of time and place. The Whisper of the River is filled with the richness of spirit that makes great fiction.
