The secret river

The Secret River is the only finished work which turned up after the untimely death of Rawlings, and is the only children's story she wrote. Calpurnia goes to the forest to find a secret river where she can catch fish for her father to sell and restore the "good times". Can she find it again? Do we all have secret rivers of our own? This story means something to all who read it and to all with imagination.
