Silas Jacobson pulled a trigger, killed his father, and ended up months later face down in Memphis mud, trying to forget the girl who betrayed him.

 

Silas buries his father on the farm, his guilt in himself and leaves home seeking to forget past mistakes.  He travels on Mississippi steamboats and meets his best friend in a brawl, his worst enemy in a cathouse, and a mentor and lover at a New Orleans faro table.  Fighting, fornicating, and cheating at cards are a grand time, but there's another woman, a girl on a mission of her own, who saves his life and offers the opportunity to redeem himself.

 

Silas staggers out of the mud to go to her, but he finds that she's deceived him from the start.  He'll risk his neck for her—he owes her that much—but love is no longer possible.  His shot at redemption comes down to his conscience, the two women, a poker game, and the turn of a card.

 

Redemption on the River is historical fiction set along the Mississippi River in 1848.
