Peace Like a River is the story of the young boy Reuben Lands, son of the miracle-working janitor Jeremiah. The asthmatic Reuben and his two siblings are drawn into a series of scuffles and crimes that bring them into the company of Jape Waltzer, a murderous man who, in combination with Jeremiah's bout of pneumonia, upsets their quiet life. Eventually they manage to disentangle themselves, but Jeremiah passes away, taking Reuben's asthma with him as a final miraculous act.
Boasting the largest collection of book summaries, BookRags is the best option for titles you can't find elsewhere. They offer all of the basics (quotes, chapter summary, characters, historical context, literary criticism) but also walk through a few major topics that recur throughout the book, which can be particularly useful for essay writing.
Their book summaries aren't as good as other providers, but PinkMonkey often has interesting insights that aren't mentioned elsewhere on the Internet. For example, they go over literary elements (like setting, conflict, and mood), compare and contrast, and symbolism/motifs. It's a good site if you want to find a unique fact or angle that other students don't know about.
Includes the standard sections found in most book notes, including a book synopsis, chapter by chapter analysis, author biography, character list, essay topics, book report ideas, and study questions. This website is less comprehensive than other book notes sites, but could be useful if you're looking for a quick review.
