Hungry River: A Yangtze Novel

This is the Third Edition (2015) of HUNGRY RIVER. The main changes are the cover and publisher. The Second Edition (2011), still "out there," added photos to the First Edition (2005). The story itself has not changed with Editions Two and Three. In the midst of the 1900 Boxer Rebellion riots in China, Nils and Lizzie Newquist attempt to flee to safety down the treacherous Great Yangtze River. When rebel troops capture them, a fierce-faced commander takes one look at them and their children, then shouts to his men, "Where are the foreign devils? I see only white Chinese. Release them!" HUNGRY RIVER tells the story of this daring, missionary family struggling to survive in war-tormented China -- a story highlighted by their granddaughter Abbie's modern-day journal entries. Adventure, romance, danger and tragedy are all part of their story. But so are faith, hope, love and triumph. The sequels to HUNGRY RIVER are DRAGON WALL and JADE CROSS.
