Back Flap:
Down By The River was shot at multiple different locations in Pennsylvania within the short distance of a nearby river.
Throughout Mow’s college career he believed that Pennsylvania was a monotonous and unattractive state. This book challenges that idea and proves that there is much to love about Earth, even in the most unexpected of places.
