Delta Queen, a novel

More than 30 years ago, Walker Raines lost the woman he loves. Now he has clandestinely orchestrated what he hopes will appear to be an accidental meeting in very romantic circumstances: aboard the beautiful riverboat The Delta Queen on a leisurely four-day cruise between New Orleans and Natchez. He has chosen the setting carefully. This historic steamboat has been a dynamic symbol for them all their lives. Now it will witness their reunion -- and the secrets that kept them apart.
