Acerca de esta escucha
Amanda Baron died in a boating accident on the Ohio River in 1953. Or did she? While it was generally accepted that she had died when a coal barge rammed the pleasure boat she was sharing with her lover, her body was never found.
Travis Baron was an infant when his mother disappeared. After the accident and the subsequent publicity, Travis’ father scoured the house of all evidence that Amanda Baron had ever lived, and her name was never to be uttered around him. Now in high school, Travis yearns to know more about his mother.
With the help of his best friend, Mitch Malone, Travis begins a search for the truth about the mother he never knew. The two boys find an unlikely ally: an alcoholic former detective who served time for falsifying evidence. Although his reputation is in tatters, the information the detective provides about the death of Amanda Baron is indisputable - and dangerous.
Nearly two decades after her death, Travis and Mitch piece together a puzzle lost to the dark waters of the Ohio River. They know how Amanda Baron died and why. Now what do they do with the information?

Historia
Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. Jimmy Lee hails from a heathen mix of thieves, moonshiners, drunkards, and general anti-socials that for decades have clung to both the hardscrabble hills and the iron bars of every jail cell in the region. This life, Jimmy Lee believes, is his destiny, someday working with his drunkard father at the sawmill, or sitting next to his arsonist brother in the penitentiary.

Gibby's older brothers have already been to war. One died there. The other came back misunderstood and hard, a decorated killer now freshly released from a three-year stint in prison.

Determined to make that connection, he coaxes Gibby into a day at the lake: long hours of sunshine and whisky and older women.

Joey Green has returned to Beaufort, South Carolina, with its palmettos and shrimp boats, to look after his ailing father, who is succumbing to dementia, while his overstressed mother takes a break. Marshall Green’s short-term memory has all but evaporated, but his oldest memories are more vivid than ever. His mind keeps slipping backward in time, retreating into growing up in Beaufort as a boy. At first, this seems like a blessing of sorts, but Joey grows increasingly anxious as his father’s hallucinatory arguments with figures from his youth begin to hint at deadly secrets.

An Interesting Read
A good book overall. I felt it was a little slow in parts but overall was well written and engaging. The production let this audiobook down. It was obvious that several sections had been overdubbed later and it was a little annoying. Otherwise, well worth a credit.

Difficult listen
I am a big fan of Robin Yocum’s stories, however this narrator was hard to listen to. He was without enthusiasm. A bit of a damper on otherwise a good story.

Excellent
Brilliant is one of the most entertaining coming of age books ever. The narrator was phenomenal. Initially, I didn't care for him but as I listened I understood why this narrator was so appropriate. Thanks to an excellent review making this very comment I hung in and I was captivated. I absolutely love this author and each narrator selected to bring his stories to life. Thank you

Really enjoy his stories. Some mystery mixed with real life experiences and not a lot of gore! This wasn't my favorite reader, but it worked in the long run. Well worth the listen.
