REVIEWS / TESTIMONIALS
It contains poignant moments, exciting anticipatory moments, adventure, and intrigue. I love books that cover several generations in an anachronistic storyline. It truly is for all ages. I will definitely pass this book to my family members to enjoy!

I have read all of Robert Beckstedt’s novels and loved them. He warned me, The Tributaries of Alex Beckham is autobiographical involving his life before age sixteen. I am leery of any author’s self-interpretations of his early family life, but this one fooled me. It was deeper than expected in an innocent way. Alex fights his way through destructive events only to begin a life seeking truth and wisdom.
Dale Bruetting
Nice comfortable read. A heartwarming story about family and consequences. Set in Cincinnati in the mid 1950’s with ancestral roots spanning the 1860’s that briefly round out the story. Must read!! Well written departure from his first novel “I Killed Your Mother I Think.” Which was truly engaging and a triumph.
