In the summer of 1944, with the world at war and the Mississippi River boiling beneath her boots, Brenda Wellers runs a rusted riverboat alone.

Produktbeschreibung
In the summer of 1944, with the world at war and the Mississippi River boiling beneath her boots, Brenda Wellers runs a rusted riverboat alone. Once petite and pretty, she's now all grit and grease-hauling freight, dodging men who don't think she belongs, and mourning two brothers swallowed by a foreign sea. But when a final telegram arrives-one last death she can't stomach-Brenda does the unthinkable. With the docks of New Orleans behind her and a fading dream ahead, she turns the bow of the Clara June toward the open Gulf, chasing a place she once read about in a torn magazine...a place called The Green Apple Sea. What follows is a haunting and lyrical journey of defiance, grief, and the quiet longing to disappear. Part Southern Gothic, part river-noir elegy, this novella burns slow and deep-like diesel in the blood. About the Author:
Autorenporträt
Romer Shaw was born in New Orleans, raised on stories older than the soil, and called-again and again-back to the Mississippi Delta.His roots stretch through generations of Mississippi blood, but it's more than lineage that binds him to that land. It's a pull. A presence. Something spiritual. As if the alluvial earth itself had a claim on his soul.Writing in the tradition of Faulkner, Baldwin, Woodrell, and Mosley, Romer crafts Southern Gothic stories soaked in memory, fire, and moral reckoning. His work centers the Delta-its ghosts, its heat, its brutal beauty-as both character and curse.He now lives in Northwest Montana, where the mountains keep their own kind of silence-but the Delta still speaks. Always.
