Another Shade of Gray

Their passion for life aboard a Mississippi riverboat lures Jesse, Will, and Luke into a suspenseful adventure that exposes them to the harsh reality of a tainted 1930s economy. They rub elbows with gamblers, thugs, thieves, and even a river ghost. Can they beat the odds as they struggle to survive love, hate, fear, challenging danger, and the unknown? Sharon Katz, a New York book reviewer had this to say about Another Shade of Gray: "Reads almost like a Mark Twain Life on the Mississippi tale... unforgettable characters... this is a book not to be missed."
