About the book . . .
Stunning coming-of-age drama set during the Great Depression and Prohibition
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.
Eve can't wait to leave St. Paul, a notorious haven for gangsters. At
seventeen, she considers her family to be "good people," not lawbreakers
like so many in her neighborhood. Thrilled to be moving to a "safe
haven," Eve soon forms an unlikely friendship with a strange young man
named Link, blissfully unaware that her uncle's lodge is anything but
what it seems.
When the reality of her situation finally becomes clear, Eve is faced
with a dilemma. Does she dare risk everything by exposing the man whose
love and generosity is keeping her family from ruin? And when things
turn dangerous, can she trust Link in spite of appearances?
