In the bitter winter of 1937, the Ohio River rises beyond memory, swallowing streets, homes, and the steady rhythms of life in New Albany, Indiana. As floodwaters climb past windowsills and second floors become lifelines, Clara Bennett and her family must decide how to endure when escape is impossible and the river shows no mercy. Trapped in their home as the city turns into a maze of lantern light and silent boats, they shelter neighbors, ration food, fight illness, and mark the rising water inch by inch on their walls. Around them, houses drift, bridges close, and time itself seems to stall; until the river finally pauses, leaving behind mud, loss, and the long work of rebuilding. Inspired by true events of the Great Flood of 1937, When the River Would Not Sleep is a historical fiction novel about resilience, community, and the quiet courage it takes to hold on when everything familiar is submerged. It is a story of what the water takes; and what remains when it finally recedes.
