    Synopsis

    Philadelphia Gordon is an artist, a riverboat skipper and a beautiful, independent woman.Orphaned by a shipwreck, she grows up on the banks of her beloved Murray River in Australia with her kindly uncle and strict aunt, seemingly destined for a conventional life. But then tragedy changes everything, and leads her to a successful career as a painter, and then to a meeting with the dashing captain of the paddle-steamer which bears her name.#72 in  Australia's Top 100 Favourite Homegrown Reads
