If you have not read Ann Tatlock, do not start with this book. I am so glad I borrowed from the library and didn't waste a credit. I thought the main character and her father were self-righteous and only showed glimmers of being likeable. The dilemma is selling alcohol during prohibition and whether breaking the law is okay for any reason. The main character sees life in black and white, with only moments of humanity.
I finished the book, set it down and went back for it 30 min. later, as I had forgotten that I had finished the book...not a good sign for the depth of the story or caring how it ends. I stuck with it because Tatlock is normally so much better.
