Author Note

Welcome to the Roaring Twenties! It was a time in America where most every citizen broke the law, and new freedoms were discovered.

People across America have tales to tell about their family being involved in bootlegging during this decade, including me. My father often talked about his grandfather and the hay wagon that was never unloaded, but made regular trips across the frozen river into Canada.

Researching this time period became a family affair. Literally! Dressed in roaring twenties fashions, several of us attended the Bootlegger’s Ball at the Minnesota Historical Society. Family members on vacations sent me pictures of speakeasies and other sites they stumbled upon, and others readily joined me on excursions across Minnesota to learn more about the gangsters who thrived in our state during that time.

The Runaway Daughter is the first of a miniseries. It’s Ginger’s story. She’s the youngest Nightingale sister, and is ready to take on the world from page one. Freedom and fun are what Ginger is after and, in her eyes, both of those include Brock Ness.

Brock, however, has his own goals, and is not impressed to find Ginger hiding beneath the tarp of his truck.

I hope you enjoy their story, and I hope you stay tuned for the other books in the Daughters of the Roaring Twenties miniseries.
