Fiction | Historical
Combining elements of mystery, history, and romance, this
compelling narrative explores the river frontier of West
Virginia to the Midwest in the 1900s. Unconventional for her
time, Sarah Perkins is driven to excel and be successful in
a man’s world despite her traumatic childhood under an
abusive father who strictly enforced traditional gender
roles. Dreaming of one day being a riverboat pilot, Sara
embarks on an adventure aboard the Spirit of the
River, a premier paddleboat on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. She’s spent hours behind the wheel under the
supervision of the captain, Jeremy Smith—her friendly rival
and romantic interest—and longs to prove her worth. When a
traveling troupe of entertainers, Le Théatre d’Illusion,
discovers that a cast member has suspiciously disappeared
while a mysterious and deadly illness afflicts the rest of
the passengers, Sarah will find herself tested in
unimaginable ways. Suspenseful and thrilling, this dynamic
novel of hidden secrets offers an unflinching look at
serious issues such as alcoholism, suicide, and gender,
while maintaining a lively storyline full of adventure,
independence, and life on the river wild.
