About this audiobook
The river was ten feet up the bank, and the paper was face up on the dock. She did not read the one her father signed.
Bernadette Kilgore runs six hundred barge slots on the Ohio River at Paducah, and nothing in her water moves without her signature at the bottom of the night sheet.
She has her father’s fleeting permit on the wall. She also has a text in her pocket from her bookkeeper that says it’s handled, don’t ask me how, and she did not ask.
She comes down to her own dock at eleven o’clock at night, in the dress, to walk her lines on a rising river, and there is a man already standing on it behind a gate she chained herself. What happens between them on that dock is nobody’s business but theirs.
What is lying by her father’s bollard afterward is the problem.
