Title: The river home
Description: "The River Home takes the reader into a world few ever glimpse, that of America's riverboats. In this fast-paced narrative with incisive characterizations and dialogue, Dorothy Weil introduces us to a vivid milieu and a gallery of fascinating people. We meet her father, a "wild river man from the Kentucky hills," her mother, "a proper girl from a Cincinnati Dutch clan," and her brother, a fourth-generation river man.

We follow along as the family struggles to survive on the river in the midst of the Great Depression."--BOOK JACKET.
