The narrative follows the lives of three generations of performers aboard the Cotton Blossom, a traveling theater on a steamboat. Spanning from the 1880s to the 1920s, it explores themes of love, ambition, and the changing American landscape, transitioning from the Reconstruction Era to Gilded Age Chicago and the Roaring Twenties in New York before returning to the river. Through its rich characters and settings, the novel captures the evolution of both the performers and the cultural backdrop of America during this transformative period.
