Lucy Miller Brown has seen too many tragedies in her thirty-three years. Still struggling to survive her veteran husband's death, she works tirelessly to create a good life for her three children and aging grandmother on the farm that has supported their family for multiple generations. With her family thriving and a bumper crop of fruits and vegetables ripening in the fields, Lucy finally feels a satisfying sense of control. But she can't control the weather. Hurricane Florence barrels into the North Carolina coast as a Cat 1, leaving behind normal destruction-nothing Lucy can't handle. But then the storm stalls and dumps over thirty inches of rain in less than three days, causing the rivers to rise to unprecedented levels. Following a harried middle-of-the-night escape to the loft of their tractor shed, Lucy guards her family as she watches the tannin stained water of the Black River swallow up their home and farm and threaten to overtake their refuge. Feeling lost and helpless, Lucy prays for help. The answer to those prayers arrives in the form of a man and his teenage son in a jonboat-strangers Lucy is fearful to trust. But with the water still rising, what other option does she have? Relinquishing much of the independence and control Lucy has fought so hard to achieve, she must make difficult decisions for the survival and future of her family.
