About TILL THE RIVERS ALL RUN DRY by Jim Lester
In 1941, when thirteen year old Ricky Parker’s family is uprooted from their home in Arkansas and relocated to Venezuela, Ricky thinks his life is over. But what he finds in a rough and tumble oil camp on the banks of Lake Maracaibo is the adventure of a lifetime. An adventure filled with Nazi spies, betrayal, true love and even murder.
While touching on issue that remain relevant today, such as racism and America’s reliance on foreign oil, this coming of age historical novel is a page turning, high-octane suspense tale of star crossed young lovers set in exotic Venezuela.
