Childhood sweethearts Jack and Maddy find themselves on opposite sides of the law in 1931 Colton, Montana. Maddy operates a speakeasy in the basement of her father's store, and Jack is the lawman investigating the illegal activity. Rebecca Gibel reads Jack's words in a straightforward, confident tone. A deeper pitch separates his words from those of Maddy, whose voice holds slightly more maturity than her younger sister’s but still has the optimism of a young woman. Gibel's portrayals of the supporting characters add variety to the narration, especially in the contrast between the East Coast accent of Jack's partner and the slow drawls of the Montana natives. The clear separation between each section leaves no doubt as its point of view. E.N. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
With violence threatening to shatter their world, Maddy and Jack have only one chance to rekindle their love and trust for each other, one chance to claim a future together.
Now Jack is willing to do anything to earn her forgiveness . . . anything except reveal one important truth: that he's a Prohibition agent on an undercover assignment. How far are Maddy and Jack willing to go to keep their secrets? What happens when the truth finally comes out?
