Crooked River Stories

"When the latest advice from your favorite self-help book, Ted Talk, and life coach can no longer help you push through your most recent challenges enter Crooked River Stories. Inspired by Missouri's little known Gasconade River (deemed one of the crooked-est rivers in the world) Crooked River Stories takes you on a wild river ride to places you've never been before but will be glad for having visited. Each chapter in this 'never give up' narrative provides heart-warming, belly-laughing, and often gut-wrenching moments addressing the problems and pain common to the human experience. If you've ever or are currently struggling through poverty, pain, the tragic loss of a loved one, foreboding evil, depression, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, or doubts about your faith, jump in the boat for an incredible and winding journey with those who have navigated similar waters and disembarked on the shores with a newly discovered confidence, purpose for living, and hope for the future."
