Yvonne Osborne

Romance, deception, and murder erupt when the use of modern-day practices pits one farmer who has faith in the ancient wisdom of husbandry against another who uses chemicals and exploits farm workers, while the son of the first and the daughter of the last try to rise above the war that engulfs them.

BLACK RIVER is a gripping tale of love, survival, and the heavy price of silence in a place where secrets flow as deep and dark as the water itself. 

ADVANCE  PRAISE for  BLACK RIVER

I couldn’t put Black River down! Part climate fiction, part mystery, part romance, all tied together with Yvonne Osborne’s tender and gorgeous prose.  A fantastic beach read, and an even better ‘cabin read.’ Get cozy!                – Megan Okonsky, author of the Barefoot Followers of Sweet Potato Grace

Yvonne  Osborne’s second novel, Black River, is an engrossing North Country love story, as fast-paced, unpredictable, and turbulent as the wild waterway of its title. This novel refuses to be contained by any single genre, overflowing the banks of romance, suspense, action, and social commentary as the current of its narrative rushes to its irresistible conclusion.     –   Dave Essinger, editor of the Slippery Elm Literary Magazine

The river of Yvonne Osborne’s title flows through this compulsively readable novel and kept me turning its pages late into the night. The gorgeous writing is an added bonus.  –  M.J. Werthman White, author of Invitation to the Party
