Set against the backdrop of a floating theater on the Mississippi River, the narrative follows three generations of performers aboard the Cotton Blossom from the 1880s to the 1920s. It explores their lives through significant historical periods, including the Reconstruction Era, Gilded Age Chicago, and the Roaring Twenties in New York, ultimately returning to the river. The novel delves into themes of change, resilience, and the enduring spirit of performance amidst evolving American society.
