What in the world is going on in the heart of the Ozarks?

From a fouled Skunk Creek to Presidential shenanigans, mass extinction, threats of secession, and bizarre infestations, Hardlyvillains have had plenty of reasons to be hoppin' mad. Their town, their water, their very way of life seem always at risk?and now more than ever?as tainted water kills one of their own and the heads of murder victims start turning up around town. Is there a new yellow-eyed threat on the horizon? Love, laughter, and hellbenders fill the void with hope and happiness as the Hardlyvillains' ever-resilient spirit rises to challenge after challenge. Rowdy, ribald, insightful, and grounded in Ozarkian waters and history, Stream of Life will always surprise ... and generally raise an eyebrow or two!

The Children of the Creek trilogy by Todd Parnell tackles important contemporary issues in the rich and colorful context of the Ozarks.
