Our title for discussion is: What this River Keeps by Greg Schwipps 

Summary:

"In the rolling hills of southern Indiana, an elderly couple copes with the fear that their river bottom farm, the only home they've ever known, will be taken from them through an act of eminent domain. The river flowing through their land, where the old man has fished nearly every day of his life, may be dammed to form a reservoir. Their son, meanwhile, sinks deeper into troubles of his own, struggling to determine his place in a new romantic relationship and the duty he owes to his family's legacy. What This River Keeps is a beautiful and heartfelt novel that reflects upon what it means to love a place and a family, and the sometimes staggering cost of that love."
