"I don't care if I have to kill every damn bootlegger in Georgia, I'm going to keep you safe."
    
    --------------------------
    
    Sixteen-year-old Agnes Miller lives in Pausel, Mississippi, a sleepy town where a kid spraining his ankle would make front page news. It's the summer of 1929, and Agnes is busy fishing and throwing rocks at church women. Her life is simple, free, and wonderful.
    
    That is, until her brother makes an unexpected visit home while on break from college. He brings with him his fiance, nineteen-year-old Lottie Furlong. Agnes is immediately captivated by Lottie's stunning appearance and warm, inviting personality. Her happiness for her favorite brother is quickly overshadowed by her own stirring emotions.
    
    It soon comes to light that Lottie is not her brother's future wife, but instead a fugitive from the law. Lottie has blood on her silky smooth hands and it's about to put everyone around her in danger.
