"We both sort of just washed back up on the banks of Black Creek Falls,"
was how Luke described it to Maggie.

In her second novel, Carol Ohmart Behan explores the elusive mysteries
of our connections to one another and to the places we call home.

His time away was in the jungles of Vietnam...hers was spent in Pittsburgh escaping a family-shattering event. Ultimately she'd returned home to help her father, and six years later is still only waiting tables at the Creekside Diner. But the past will not stay quiet for either of them.

As another summer begins, Maggie must summon the courage to discover the truth of what happened all those years ago. She finds herself drawn to Luke as they become allies in mending their separate lives. Given all she learns, can she risk responding to the spark rekindling between them?


What people are saying about Downstream

"As I read your book I felt like I was one of the characters: they know each other, have known each other for a long while. You know the pain and sorrow that they have experienced and that is always in the background (you can feel it) when they meet. The connections that you have so subtley written about come across very well. It is about real people living in small town America, speaking in real language. A very human story."
Mohan Tracy

"In reading your story I admired how well you are able to make realistic settings and interchanges, and your ability to put the reader in settings and characters that ring true."
Josef Graf, author of Earth Vision and Gaia Sojourn
