"Reviewed By Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite
River Crossed by Bruce P. Spang is a richly detailed and thought-provoking novel set in the 1960s, a time of great societal upheaval and change in America. The story follows the protagonist, Jason, as he takes a position with the Head Start program in rural West Virginia. This decision becomes a turning point, allowing him to confront deep-seated questions about his identity, values, and role in the world. The novel is a deeply personal and moving journey of growth and understanding. Jason's internal struggles are compelling and relatable as he navigates the cultural and systemic challenges of working in an impoverished Appalachian community. The relationships he forms with those around him, particularly his colleague Carole, become essential to his development.
Bruce P. Spang masterfully intertwines themes of secrets, coverups, identity, self-acceptance, love, relationships, change, transition, friendship, support, loss, grief, growth, societal expectations, conformity, and conflict into a compelling narrative. Some themes, such as Jason's fascination with Watergate, are interwoven more subtly. The 1960s setting is vividly portrayed, with Spang capturing the era's political and cultural shifts with authenticity. Through detailed descriptions of the region and its way of life, the novel invites readers to experience its complexities, highlighting the realities of poverty, tradition, and the strength found in community. River Crossed explores how education can be a tool for empowerment and how individuals can create meaningful change in their lives and the lives of others. Jason's gradual realization of his capacity to lead and advocate is a central theme, inspiring reflection on the power of self-discovery and perseverance. Sprang has penned a beautiful story that captures so much of human nature and the 1960s, and it's a book that no one should miss. It's beautifully written and would make an excellent movie."
