Time is a River Darry Carlstone

Time is a River is a story of three boys, born in eastern Oklahoma in 1939, and raised in the same (fictional) town of Mission. They remained lifelong friends as they reacted in different ways to the major events of their time. Their experiences included: attitudes from the Great Depression and the aftermath of World War II; the changing racial climate; Sputnik; military service during Vietnam; the oil boom and bust, and the collapse of Penn Square Bank; the Edmond Post Office massacre; and the Murrah Building bombing. Their story is told by a close friend who shared these experiences. The work has been timed to appear during the Oklahoma Centennial year, 2007
