A true Southern Gothic, The Boatman's Daughter by Andy Davidson paints a lush, provocative picture of the bayou as seen through the eyes of Miranda Crabtree. Ever since her father's murder, Miranda has supported herself, an ageing witch, and a mysterious child by transporting contraband for a mad preacher. But the strange rhythm of her life is upended when the preacher makes a dangerous demand that sends Miranda on a dark journey full of supernatural dangers.
