Publisher's Synopsis
Agnes and Scott Henderson meet at a fishing pond as children. They become fishing buddies and fishing remains a big part of their relationship; and they pass their love of fishing to their five children. Evelyn brings the personality of each character to life. Scott's dream is to some day float the mighty Mississippi River. Agnes believes this dream should belong to a boy, such as Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn; but Scott and the children talk about it so often Agnes begins to think it may actually become a reality. This is a heart-warming story about family love.
