A housemaid with a dangerous family secret conspires with a wealthy young abolitionist to help an enslaved girl escape, in volatile pre-Civil War Philadelphia. The rebel . . . the socialite . . . and the fugitive. Together, they will risk everything for one another in this “beguiling story of friendship, deception, and women crossing boundaries in the name of freedom” (Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Friends). Philadelphia, 1837. After Charlotte escaped from the crumbling White Oaks plantation down South, she’d expected freedom to feel different from her former life as an enslaved housemaid. After all, Philadelphia is supposed to be the birthplace of American liberty. Instead, she’s locked away playing servant to her white-passing father, as they both attempt to hide their identities from slavecatchers who would destroy their new lives. Longing to break away, Charlotte befriends Nell, a budding abolitionist from one of Philadelphia’s wealthiest Black families. Just as Charlotte starts to envision a future, a familiar face from her past reappears: Evie, her friend from White Oaks, has been brought to the city by the plantation mistress, and she’s desperate to escape. But as Charlotte and Nell conspire to rescue her, in a city engulfed by race riots and attacks on abolitionists, they soon discover that fighting for Evie’s freedom may cost them their own.

Bob "Bric" Bricsonn, hardware store owner in Duluth, Minnesota and his friends, a civil engineer and a foreman at the local food plant come to realize that the tumultuous economic environment will soon crush and discard them. They decide there is only one way out of their financial traps. Three couples agree that desperate times call for desperate measures. The amateurs enter into the professional world of crime; a robbery, a drug buy, and drug resale down state. From the beginning the six learn that their actions have unintended and dire consequences. Errors in judgment, and misplaced enthusiasm put the plan in jeopardy from the start. Violence begets violence; intended and accidental. Alliances and relationships are fluid, because the drive for the big payoff is everyone's goal. Deception and double dealing abound. Bric struggles to keep the team on the right path, but ultimately he can trust only himself. A new player offers him a way to reach his financial goal.
