      I just got through reading Follow the River, and I know my mother and sometimes even me have those times, when we don't know how we know somethings but we know them. Finding out my 5th Great Gma had those feeling too that she could sense before things happened, really touched my heart. Truely that part has been passed down through our generations. The book, Follow the River was so interesting to me, and I couldn't hardly lay the book down, till I finished reading it. I know it was the true goodness, strength and mercy of God that kept her and the Dutch woman alive. That God gave her that bravery and courage to do it.

    I read the book several years back. A great but sad story. Saw the movie also. Liked the book better. I’ve always wondered what happened to the Old Dutch woman. So sad. 😔

    The way the older Dutch woman was described, she probably had dementia

      When you are hungry and starving, a lot of people would eat anything to stay alive. Mary could not even think of doing such a thing, but I know it talks about in the bible about a situation where these 2 woman, were starving, both had a baby, and this one lady said, we eat your baby today and tomorrow we will eat mine, so they ate the first baby, but the next day the other lady had hid her baby. But lepers had found food shortly after and told the city about it so then that city had food.
