Laura Rose White's late father taught her everything he knew
about piloting a Missouri River steamboat. He even named
their boat after her. Despite that, it seems that Laura will
forever be a "cub pilot" to her brother Joe, because in
1867, a female riverboat captain is unheard of. That is,
until tragedy strikes and Laura must make the two month
journey from St. Louis to Fort Benton and back in order to
save her family's legacy, her home, and the only life she's
ever known.
The only way for her to overcome the nearly insurmountable
odds is with the help of her brother's disreputable friend
Finn MacKnight, a skilled pilot with a terrible reputation.
Laura loathes having to accept MacKnight as her co-pilot,
especially when she learns she must also provide passage for
his two sisters. Straight-laced Fiona has a fear of water,
and unpredictable Adele seems much too comfortable with the
idea of life in the rough and tumble environment of the
untamed river and the men who ply it. Though they are thrown
together by necessity, this historic journey may lead Laura
and the MacKnights to far more than they ever expected.
