Summary:
Victor Vollmer sets off to fulfill a final request of Mr. Spiro, the aging neighbor who became his friend and mentor. Now a few years older and working as a newspaper copyboy, Victor plans to spread Mr. Spiro?s ashes at the mouth of the Mississippi River as the former merchant marine wished. But the journey will not be a simple one. Victor will confront a strange and threatening world, and when his abilities and confidence get put to the test, he?ll lean on a fascinating girl named Philomene for help. Together they?ll venture toward the place where river meets sea, and they?ll race to evade Hurricane Betsy as it bears down.
