註釋Maw didn't like lightning. She said that it was the Lord's sword striking down evil spirits and that we didn't need to be out on the battlefield, lest we be mistakenly struck down. She said that the Lord was getting pretty old and didn't know how good his eyesight was anymore. Jump in the backseat of the boat with new author Tom Edwards as he leads the way to danger, adventure and humor along the banks of the Coosa River in his first book Life on the River.

O. and walk mysterious trails. Save Paw from the Gentry boys and follow Tom and Nelson on their quest for monster turtles while listening to Dick Bennett's humorous wisdom. Catch snakes, recover lost gold and save Reverend Jones from a runaway possum. Catch a Bigfoot by the toe and brave the waters where the dreaded Shark Toothed Brahma Humping Bull Cat swims. Go fishing with Fred and see if Uncle Abe can pull the wool over Aunt Lilly's eyes.Enjoy Life on the River, a book of exaggeration and imagination about life and how we partake of it. Tom Edwards grew up on the banks of the Coosa River in Shelby County, Alabama. Number two son in a family of six children, he married young and started his own family as so many others in this area had also done. His first taste of writing came at the age of sixteen but was soon set aside to make way for a career as a carpenter to support his new family. After thirty-four years in the building industry, he has picked up his pen once again.
