Susie M. Barstow and Edith Wilkinson Cook, two very different painters of the Hudson school – and fast friends – take a canoe trip to Pollopel (soon to be Bannerman) Island every Autumn from 1858 to 1902. What will they discover about themselves – and about each other – over long years for friendship, art, and paddling through rough water towards the reward of the elusive island?
