"A clean, sharp jab of a read."--Booklist

Young Spenser is tough. After all, he's being raised by his father and uncles--three of the strongest men in town. He knows how to fight, and he's had to prove it. But sometimes the hardest thing to do is walk away. So when Spenser sees his friend Jeannie being taken downriver in a boat by her abusive father, he has a hard decision to make. Should he risk his own life to save Jeannie's? And if so, how can he overcome such a bear of a man?
