Rivers Flow

by Jim H. Ainsworth

Overview

Flow is the difference between the way things are and the way they ought to be.” Jake did not understand the meaning of his grandfather’s words. It was easier to believe that the flow was not real.

The Rivers have a name for the mysterious presence that continually saves them from ruin. They call it the flow. Ten-year-old Jake Rivers is the only family member who has not experienced it, and fears he never will. On a dusty baseball diamond in the middle of a drought, the flow visits Jake, sending him on a quest to understand more than a young boy can.

As Jake searches, a succession of events pushes the family into a downward spiral of economic and emotional disaster. Jake fears that the flow may have turned against his family. An evangelical preacher, a woman who has lost an infant child, and a young boy who loves baseball but can’t play the game help Jake to find the secret of the flow.

He is a professional speaker who was twice named as one of the most influential accountants in America. A former CPA, CFP, CLU, RIA and stockbroker, he also authored four business books.

At fifty-three, he left the business world to pursue the abandoned dreams of his childhood—to be a cowboy. He made a covered wagon and horseback trip across Texas to retrace the journey his ancestors had made two generations earlier and wrote Biscuits Across the Brazos to chronicle the trip. He traveled the team roping circuit as an amateur and worked roundups on big ranches. Working beside real cowboys sent him back to writing. Using lessons he had learned from more than 10,000 client interviews over thirty years and memories from his rural Texas roots, In the Rivers Flow, his first novel, was published in 2003. Rivers Crossing followed in 2005. Rivers Ebb, a Writers League of Texas contest finalist, is the third novel in his Follow the Rivers trilogy
