Synopsis "While the Getting is Good"

Amid the gangland wars of Prohibition, one fisherman's long-shot play to secure his family's future brings disaster to everyone he loves. Based partly on family lore, Matt Riordan's follow-up to The North Line is for readers of Jeannette Wall's Hang the Moon and S.A. Cosby's All the Sinners Bleed. Eld should've known better. Hell, he did know better. But watching lesser men hit big paydays--men who didn't fight in Europe--grew unbearable. So, when the opportunity arises, he reaches for a little something extra for his family, and even more for himself. With Prohibition expiring in a matter of months, his turn from fisherman to rumrunner was supposed to be temporary. It seemed the perfect plan. Even Maggie, Eld's normally sensible wife, is on board. Things don't go to plan. Amid the region's players battle to capture the biggest piece of a shrinking pie, Eld's tiny family operation is caught in the crossfire. One bitterly cold night packing whiskey across Lake Huron costs Eld dearly, and his family even more. Hunted by gangsters and squeezed by the Depression, Eld, Maggie, and the children are scattered: Eld to Canada on a doomed quest, Maggie and her daughter forced into finding sanctuary in a faith more cult than religion. When they finally reunite, they may not even recognize each other as the same people who crossed their fingers and threw the dice for a shot at a better life.
