A struggling young artist. A bus stop. A boy.

A story about anxiety and hope.

Did Sam deserve to be happy or not? Wasn't it that simple?

All her life, all the men she'd wanted to love, all the chances she'd taken, left her at night with a stereo and a skylight in the ceiling, where all she could see were the icy stars.

Sam drew everyday people doing everyday things. Then she met Rexel. Their unlikely friendship is the backdrop for a story about believing in the future and reconciling the past, as Sam navigates her way through the Minnesota seasons in search of happiness.

Perfume River takes you on an emotional journey, introducing you to a cast of compelling characters, each one bringing something to the table that helps Sam figure out how to move forward and embrace what's in her heart.
