The River Queen: A MemoirIn the fall of 2005 acclaimed writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi River in a battered old houseboat called The River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry and an ailing, irascible rat terrier named Samantha Jean. Her father had just died. Her daughter had gone off to college. Lost and uncertain, Morris returned to the river of her youth, to the waterside towns where her father had once lived. In this poignant and often humorous

In the fall of 2005 acclaimed writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi River in a battered old houseboat called The River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry and an ailing, irascible rat terrier named Samantha Jean. Her father had just died. Her daughter had gone off to college. Lost and uncertain, Morris returned to the river of her youth, to the waterside towns where her father had once lived. In this poignant and often humorous memoir, Morris reclaims the world of her childhood as she gets a bearing on her future. She describes traveling down stream through the Midwest, living like a pirate as she survives a tornado and infestation of mayflies, bivouacs on beaches, and ties up to paddleboats in the dark of night. As she learns to pilot the River Queen through these fabled waters, Morris delivers a memoir that "deserves to be both a best-seller and a classic" (The Courier-Journal).

Gals can wear this too!
Color: 2 Pack(black+white), Size: XX-Large
Do you know how difficult it is to find a cotton mock turtleneck??? This review is NOT for guys but for gals. Being in menopause my temps are all over the place-- one minute I'm hot then I'm freezing. I needed a short sleeve (plus size) cotton mock turtleneck to wear under a cardigan. I'm so pleased with this shirt... the fabric is soft, NOT see-through, it's breathable since its primarily cotton (95%), it's not super tight, and it's comfortable. Hopefully the info will help other gals looking for similar shirts.

Okay shirts if they fit. Neck stretches out some with washing.
Decent shirts. It's difficult to buy clothes online because you don't know how they'll fit until they arrive. The small was too small, and the medium is just a little loose. I'm 5'8" and 150 pounds after losing 65 pounds in a year. I work out and have some muscle. Shirts look good on my chest, but the sleeves are a little too long, and the neck is starting to go bacon after just two washings.
