But when her husband dies she finds herself on the road home, pregnant and penniless, only to discover that her father has been dead for six months and her mother hasn't been sober since.

But bootlegger Jeb Pierce has other ideas and Marilee will be forced to endanger herself and those she loves in her fight to claim back what is hers....
