The Good Child's River is a novel by Thomas Wolfe. A formerly lost novel, it was first published in 1991, 53 years after Wolfe's death. The book was found, edited, and produced by Suzanne Stutman, a Wolfe scholar who also edited the 2003 book My Other Loneliness: Letters of Thomas Wolfe and Aline Bernstein. It has been described as a novel, but also as a "novel-length fragment", a "hastily... lashed together... welter of vignettes" making for "an unfinished novel", and "not so much a novel as it is a rich collection of reminiscences and tableaux"
