STOLEN WATER, FORGOTTEN LIBERTIES is a fascinating memoir detailing the life and experiences of Joe Barnes--husband, father, WWII veteran, and the owner of the largest canoe and fishing rental service on Arkansas' Buffalo River. More than a personal memoir, however, it also tells the larger story of a community bound together by a river that provided sustenance and livelihood, only to see it all threatened when, in 1972, the National Park Service took control of the river, designating it a "national river."

Awarded an Honorable Mention at the 2015 Los Angeles Book Festival.
