A mystery and a coming-of-age story. In the late fifties, a young woman feels the horror of a tragic murder that was the culmination of a crucial choice made by a person dear to her during the prohibition years. She is devastated but, instead of the safety of marriage in a time when women were expected to do so, she makes her own crucial choice to pursue her independence. Sixty years later she analyzes her accountability for the murder, realizes that she may have been wrong about other beliefs and the choices she made as a result. Set in Regina and Vancouver, this novel explores how the wrong choice at a pivot point in your life can affect all that follows, including your legacy. Yet, it's never too late to gain insights into past decisions, accept responsibility for outcomes, and make amends. Coming-of-age can happen at any age.
