Sinossi

Part memoir and part travelogue, this book recounts the author's early days as a steamboat pilot on the great river before the Civil War. It vividly describes the golden age of steamboating, the intricate science of piloting, and the colorful characters who worked the waters. The second half contrasts this nostalgia with a return trip years later, observing the changes wrought by war and railroads. It is a loving tribute to the majesty and danger of the Mississippi River.

    A wealthy novelist, loved by the public and derided by the fools of 'high society'. 
    A husband, so beloved that she is blind to who he truly is. A penniless lordling, he scorns her work and squanders her fortune on gambling, drinking, and adultery.  
    A loyal and loving suitor, rejected by Delicia's delusionary love for her husband. 
    The revelation. In the blink of an eye, love turns to hate.  
    A marriage now made in hell, impossible to escape, impossible to stay in.

    I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
    Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
    In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
    She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
    Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
    This is narrated for the author.
