Seventeen-year-old Bailey Kraft assumes he will become a waterman like his father and generations of men before him. It is a life bred in the bone. But it is also a dying livelihood. Fish stocks are plummeting and with them, the harvests. Watermen are unable to earn a living. Yet Bailey is a Kraft – river royalty. He has a sense of purpose and belonging until the day his father shatters his lifelong plans. Suddenly, he must fight the people he loves most to hang onto his birthright. Set on Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore, this award-winning novel is the story of Bailey Kraft, his tough and determined little sister, Hannah, his best friend, Booty, and Booty's alcoholic father, Tud. Bailey faces fear, loss and wrenching changes. Yet amidst it all, he glimpses the unexpected possibilities that life can offer.
