To the chaos and reconstruction after the War Between the States, Memphis is struck by the yellow fever epidemic and the fringes of refugees from New Orleans as they fight losing their own citizens who are fleeing the epidemic, too. Just home from school in England, Jamai Allen is determined to use her education for more than pouring tea as the groundswell for women's rights is just getting started. She gets a job at the paper and falls for Lou Sutton, the handsome, arrogant son of the paper's owner. Can she tame society and Lou as well? Their adventures include boarding a tug boat in the middle of the river before dawn, an attack by river pirates, the perilous times, and a friend accused of murder. Step back in time with Jamai, Lou, and the lovely old Bluff City.
