Stunning New Novel from Award-Winning Author
When Eve Marryat's father is laid off from the Ford Motor Company
in 1931, he is forced to support his family by leaving St. Paul,
Minnesota, and moving back to his Ohio roots. Eve's uncle Cyrus has
invited the family to live and work at his Marryat Island Ballroom
and Lodge.
St. Paul seemed like a haven for gangsters, and Eve had grown
fearful of living there. At seventeen, she considers her family to
be "good people." They aren't lawbreakers and criminals like so
many people in her old neighborhood. Thrilled to be moving to a
"safe haven," Eve is blissfully unaware that her uncle's lodge is a
transfer station for illegal liquor smuggled from Canada.
Eve settles in to work and makes new friends, including an
enigmatic but affecting young man. But when the reality of her
situation finally becomes clear, Eve is faced with a dilemma. How
can she ignore what is happening right under their very noses? Yet
can she risk everything by condemning the man whose love and
generosity is keeping her and her family from ruin?
Eleven-year-old Roz (Rosalind) Anthony and her family have just
moved to Mills River, Illinois, to escape an abusive situation.
Only days after settling into their new home, they are surprised to
find the previous owner, Tillie Monroe, on their front porch
reading the newspaper. Though her sons have sold the house and sent
her to a facility for the aged, she is determined to die in the
place she lived her life, and somehow manages to find her way
"home" day after day. Feeling sympathy for the elderly woman, Roz's
mother allows Tillie to move back in.
Mara Nightingale becomes Roz's first friend in Mills River. In
spite of their many differences, the girls discover they have
something in common that binds them together--both are hiding
secrets. So they make a promise--"cross my heart and hope to
die"--never to tell anyone else.
When danger stalks the Anthonys, Tillie exhibits unimaginable
courage and selfless love in her determination to protect the
family she has adopted as her own.
