The Island

Vices are outlawed in Cloquet in 1918--except on the Island. There, loggers can have the time of their lives with drink, women of the night, and poker games. When the city is threatened by fire, the virtuous citizens of Cloquet have to overcome their prejudice in order to survive. Everything is destroyed--except the Island. As one reporter commented, "The Devil takes care of his own."

This is Nancy's first novel.
