the second Toby adventure novel, by Thom Rogers. Copyright 2007, all rights reserved.
As the sequel to 'Baby Grape and Huskey', this novel offers the readers more twists and turns than the wild river the characters travel.
Toby, Gina, Jayne, and little Robin are now the 'crew' of the steam-powered Tug -'The Allegheny Bea'. And as full partners of the trading company they run the rivers North and adventures greet them in unbelievable, and numerous, ways.
Immigrants are part of the cargo the Bea hauls and those characters add to the events and development of the trading, settling, (and problems), of the area.
Since women were a scarce premium, the constant threat of kidnapping becomes a reality that is to be dealt with in 'local law' and customary measure.
Honor, integrity, and unselfish love, faces each of the main characters -enlightening them to the needs of others even through fickle-teenage love, an horrific fire, separation, disease, and death...

When finally, Toby has the opportunity and money to travel further downriver and look for his family, the third novel begins in 'Baby Grape's Southern Exposure' Adding to the suspenseful action readers have come to enjoy in the Toby Adventure Stories.
The heroics of our characters, will warm even the hardest of hearts, and offer hope to the others that they must help to escape life's unfair lot.
So, don't put away those sighs of relief too soon; as more twists and turns, devout readers have come to expect, are in store for our 'crew' and it's nothing -if not another page-turner in the third of the Toby Adventure Series.
