In the remote Oregon woods, there's a strange river—not water, but dried-out logs—that silently flows downstream with no visible current. The locals call it "Timberflow." Legend says that if you throw a piece of wood from a destroyed house into the river, it will reveal a glimpse of the life that might have been had that house never been lost.

When Mara returns to the woods after her mother's death, she carries with her the remains of her childhood home—a yellowed doorknob, a charred window frame, and fragments of the staircase where secrets were whispered and grief was born. Fueled by memories and regret, she seeks not answers but understanding. But Timberflow is more than a revelation. What it reveals cannot always be hidden. The more Mara surrenders to its strange power, the more she questions the nature of memory, guilt, and the cost of closing the chapter.

As the past begins to turn into visions, and visions into realities, Mara faces a terrifying question: Is the life she's mourning truly real—or is it just a story the river wants her to believe?

A captivating and poetic story about memory, loss, and the homes we build within ourselves, *River of What Could Have Been* explores the delicate tension between holding on and letting go—and what happens when regret takes root in the forest, and forgiveness refuses to align with the current.
