But watching lesser men hit big paydays-men who \u003ci\u003edidn't \u003c\/i\u003efight in Europe-grew unbearable. So, when the opportunity arises, he reaches for a little something extra for his family, and even more for himself. With Prohibition expiring in a matter of months, his turn from fisherman to rumrunner was supposed to be temporary. It seemed the perfect plan. Even Maggie, Eld's normally sensible wife, is on board.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThings don't go to plan. Amid the region's players battle to capture the biggest piece of a shrinking pie, Eld's tiny family operation is caught in the crossfire. One bitterly cold night packing whiskey across Lake Huron costs Eld dearly, and his family even more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHunted by gangsters and squeezed by the Depression, Eld, Maggie, and the children are scattered- Eld to Canada on a doomed quest, Maggie and her daughter forced into finding sanctuary in a faith more cult than religion. When they finally reunite, they may not even recognize each other as the same people who crossed their fingers and threw the dice for a shot at a better life.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46727022084254,"sku":"UBD-9781368101455","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781368101455.jpg?v=1776491604","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781368101455","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
