Description

All the Rivers Run by Nancy Cato is a captivating tale of adventure and discovery.

Philadelphia Gordon is an artist, a riverboat skipper, and a beautiful, independent woman. Orphaned by a shipwreck, Philadelphia grows up on the banks of her beloved Murray River in Australia with her kindly uncle and strict aunt, seemingly destined for a conventional life.

But then tragedy changes everything, leading her to a successful career as a painter, and eventually to a meeting with the dashing captain of the paddle-steamer which bears her name.
