High On A Hill

One of America's most beloved writers, Dorothy Garlock recaptures middle America in the jazz age - enthralled by the shimmying flappers in the cities but determined to keep its own daughters 'old fashioned'. Here she tells the story of a young woman torn between loyalty to her law-breaking father and her newfound love for a man of the law.

Annabel Lee Donovan may be a bootlegger's daughter, but she is also a lady. She hopes that her father will leave 'the business' at last when they move to a house high on a hill above Henderson, Missouri. There she meets Corbin Appleby, who may be an undercover agent and after her father, but who, she is sure, is a man she can love.

Now as a deadly mob war between whisky-runners rocks her quiet town, Annabel is caught in the crossfire of passion, betrayal - and murder. Though her dreams may shatter before her eyes, she must uncover the truth about her father and test whether her love can heal a wounded heart.
