In the Shadow of the River by Ann H. Gabhart; Revell

The story opens in 1881 on the steamboat that Irena works on. She wakens her five year old daughter, Jaycee telling her they have to get away because someone is trying to kidnap Jaycee.  Irena’s plan was to reach the showboat next to them because her father worked there. They did make it, but not before Irena was badly injured.  The story jumps ahead fifteen years and Jaycee is working on the showboat with her grandfather and their family of entertainers.  She has memories of the past, but many unanswered questions remain.  Suddenly, her life is threatened and the biggest question is why?

In this well told story readers meet a varied cast of characters and their lives on the river boat are vividly depicted.  Jaycee has a complicated past that she doesn’t fully understand. One evening, what appears to be yet another kidnapping attempt, she is taken to meet perhaps the one person who can answer her questions and she is warned she might be in danger. Should she believe what she has been told?  As the story races towards its conclusion a shocking secret is revealed.

Romance, suspense and danger all come together to create an engrossing story.  Highly recommended.
