It's the spring of 1913 in Boynton, Oklahoma, and Alice Tucker is in love. Everyone likes her new beau, Walter Kelley, except Alice's mother, Alafair. As Alafair sets out to prove to the headstrong Alice that Walter is no paragon, she uncovers such a tangle of deceit that she begins to think the whole town has been hornswoggled.
"Readers can almost smell the scent of death on the bloodstained rug and taste the homemade butter and potato patties. The book provides an entertaining way for teens to appreciate the richness of life in this time and place. The idioms and local color are delightful, and the characters are real enough for readers to fear for their safety."
