They Say It's a River

In the summer of 1992, Leah and Jacob's lives intersect in a small Wisconsin town, each carrying their own burdens and longing for healing. Leah, reeling from her mother's recent death and her father's decision to uproot their lives, arrives seeking a fresh start with extended family. Jacob, home for his yearly family reunion, confronts old tensions and unresolved pain-especially as he faces his strained relationship with his mother and his own identity within his close-knit family. When Leah and Jacob meet, a spark of connection pulls them together, challenging them to open up about their pasts and confront the truths they've kept hidden.

Over sunlit lake outings, quiet family dinners, and long conversations, Leah and Jacob find unexpected solace and understanding in each other. Guided by Jacob's great-aunt Edith, who weaves their family history into life lessons, they are reminded that beauty often emerges from brokenness, like the worn sea glass they find on the shore. As they navigate first love, family legacies, and the courage to pursue their own paths, they discover that sometimes the hardest journeys lead to the most extraordinary beginnings. They say it's a River is a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and finding light after the storm.
