Swamp Song

Trilogy on the River Book Three

Cover of Swamp Song

Swamp life is hard for a city girl.

After Yeardleigh’s papa murders her mama, she finds asylum with a couple from the nearby swamps. They deliver the twelve-year-old to a family with two boys and a girl, a city girl thrown into the primitive river life.

Although she develops feelings for one of the boys as they grow up, he makes a decision that leads him away from her and estranges him from his entire family, forcing Yeardleigh to think about family, city life, and what she wants from her future. When tragedy and danger come to both Cy and Yeardleigh, they have another chance to determine if they could be more than friends. Assuming, of course, they survive the attacks against them.

The final book of the Trilogy on the River, Swamp Song is one more trek into the simpler—but never safer—life of a group of folks who live away from the world on the river. After this, check out the next swamp trilogy, Triplets on the River. Sweet romance.

Jill's Notes

  • If I could do it again, I would name Yeardleigh something else. Like Peg. My fingers stumbled over her name every single time I typed it. But once they have names in my head, it’s hard to rename them.
  • I didn’t want to say goodbye to the swamp world at the end of this book, which led me to the next series about Cree’s triplet brothers.
  • Emile, Cy’s father, is Cree’s son, so this story is about Cree and Princess’s grandchildren. It was fun to watch the pair grow up in Swamp Rats and then see them as grandparents here. They haven’t changed much.
