With her father dead and her mother remarried and expecting a new baby, Kate knows the family will be in financial trouble if they don't make their regular canal boat journeys from Cumberland Maryland to Georgetown to sell coal. But Kate can't make the trip alone. As much as she resents her stepbrother, Seth, she needs his help, so with Kate at the tiller, and Seth walking by the mules, the two set off, risking encounters with rebels, fighting bandits and bad weather and navigating the canal's locks and frightening passages. And along the way, Kate discovers that working together not only means survival, but it also brings the understanding that will help her belong to a real family once again.
