"Philadelphia Gordon is an artist, a riverboat skipper, a beautiful and independent woman.  This epic novel, set against the panoramic countryside and winding rivers of Australia, is her story, as powerful and unforgettable as its heroine.
Orphaned by a shipwreck that cuts her off forever from her native England, thirteen-year-old Delie is living in Australia with her indolent Uncle Charles, severe Aunt Hester and wonderful, handsome cousin, Adam.  Here, o the banks of her beloved Murray river she is idyllically happy - and in love with Adam."
