Following her parents’ divorce, Mochiko begins living near her mother’s parents’ home.
 

From her apartment, she can see a large river flowing through the suburbs.
 

Visits with her father, new friends.
 

 

Beginning with “The Town with a River,” which vividly captures the scenery seen through Mochiko’s eyes and her growth,
 

this collection showcases the author’s literary achievement in depicting three distinct “times” in life, set against the backdrop of three towns through which rivers flow.
 

 

A story of compassion that vividly captures the modest yet special moments in the life we all experience
 

and the world as it truly is.
