***About The Author***
      Carrie was born in Walnut Creek, California, and grew up a true "California girl." With her husband Ben and two daughters, Taylor and Samantha, she moved to Plymouth, Minnesota in 2004. They were soon joined by a third daughter, Morgan. The family fell in love with the North star state; the changing seasons; Minnesota nice; Caribou Coffee; the beautiful parks; and all 10,000 lakes.

***About The Author***
      James Conroyd Martin is a newly-retired teacher and writer of Irish and Norwegian descent, who has been working on his Poland trilogy for many years.

***About The Book***
      'PUSH NOT THE RIVER' is the rich story of Poland in the late 1700s, a time of heartache and turmoil as the country's once peaceful people are being torn apart by neighboring countries and divided loyalties. It is then, at the young and vulnerable age of seventeen, when Lady Anna Maria Berezowska loses both of her parents and must leave the only home she has ever known. With Empress Catherine's Russian armies streaming in to take their spoils, Anna is quickly thrust into a world of love and hate, loyalty and deceit, patriotism and treason and life and death. Even kind Aunt Stella, Anna's new guardian who soon comes to personify Poland's courage and spirit, can't protect Anna from the uncertain future of the country.

      Vivid, romantic, and thrillingly paced, 'PUSH NOT THE RIVER' paints the emotional and unforgettable story of the metamorphosis of a nation--and of a proud and resilient young woman.
