"From its first lines, The Falls of the Wyona deftly, surely immerses the reader in its turbulent, inevitable flow. David Hopes has created a work of not only excellent writing, but excellent reading, combining the exacting narrative of a Jack London or M. Scott Momaday with lines of lyric, almost maternal gentleness, lines that make one close one's eyes and dream of better times ahead." —Ryka Aoki, author of He Mele a Hilo"Beautifully written." —Reviews by Amos Lassen"Dave Hopes grants us entry into the wondrous, highly charged world of young male friendship once upon a time. The setting is lovely and nostalgic. I wanted to know all about it, and I even wished I could live there. But there is trouble underneath, and there are things that just cannot happen. Until they do. A pitch-perfect exploration of the terrors and pleasures of American adolescence." —David Pratt, author of Wallaçonia and Bob the Book
