Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe returns to the 1930s era of her acclaimed novel The Upper Room with a dazzling portrait of two very different couples whose fast friendship is no match for shattering betrayal . . . A solid marriage, a thriving business, and the esteem of their close-knit Alabama community—Joyce and Odell Watson have every reason to count their blessings. Their marriage has given well-off Joyce a chance at the family she&’s always wanted—and granted Odell a shot to escape grinding poverty. But all that respectability and status comes at a cost. Just once, Joyce and Odell want to taste life&’s wild side, without consequences . . . When their new neighbors, Milton and Yvonne Hamilton, turn out to be bootleggers, the Watsons plunge headlong into good times and fast living. . . . Until revelations of Milton and Yvonne&’s seedy past make the Watsons think twice about how much time they spend together. But the Hamiltons won&’t be dismissed so easily. The Watsons soon find them invading every area of their lives, even discovering their long-held secrets. Now, the Watsons must tread carefully to keep the neighbors from destroying their perfect world . . . &“Monroe convincingly portrays a time and place where desperation is the norm.&” —Library Journal &“Impossible to put down.&” —Susan Holloway Scott, author of I, Eliza Hamilton &“Monroe reveals sympathetic aspects and complex motivations for each character in this engrossing setting.&” —Booklist
