Author Note

Welcome to the Roaring Twenties! A time in America when almost every citizen broke the law and new freedoms were discovered.

Significant change during this time period was the catalyst to bring about a new breed of women. The right to vote, and opportunities to attend college and to pursue careers paved the way for younger women to embrace who they were. They flaunted the liberation of their generation and emphasised the separation of past rigid lifestyles with newfound hairstyles, fashion and actions.

Josie Nightingale is The Forgotten Daughter in this, the fourth book in my Daughters of the Roaring Twenties mini-series. Unlike her sisters, Josie doesn’t concern herself with fashion, make-up or fancy parties. She embraces the concealment living at the resort provides. It’s allowed her to pursue another interest—that of helping others. Under the ruse of attending ladies’ aid meetings she sneaks north once a week to pass out condoms to women working the docks in Duluth. All goes well until she’s arrested and has to call Scooter Wilson to get her out of the hoosegow.

My heart went out to Scooter from the get-go. He has his hands full with Josie, but he’s the right man for the task.

I think this was the hardest book for me to write in this series. I knew it was the end of my visits with the Nightingales—for now.
