River Flowers is a lyrical collection of short stories set in the North Woods of Maine and New Hampshire, with a few unexpected detours along the way. Through richly crafted prose, Bob Romano brings to life the wild fish and the people who pursue themfly rod in hand, heart on sleeve, and a deep love for the outdoors in every cast.

With each story, readers are transported to a world scented with balsam, lit by sunset over a quiet pond, and stirred by the current of a backwoods stream. River Flowers captures not only the thrill of the catch but the soul of the places where wild trout still swim free.

Praise for River Flowers:
Lyrical, poignant, and sometimes fantastical… written in the great storytelling tradition of Sparse Gray Hackle and Robert Traver.

Heartwarming and inspiring will capture a readers imagination.

Romano takes readers back to the places he loves deeply the cries of the loon, the land of the Abenaki.
