Like No Place on Earth (eBook Edition)

by Constance Bierkan

digital

Product description...

Like No Place on Earth is a fast-paced, Roaring ‘20’s tale from Kirkus Indie Award winner Constance Bierkan that not only brings the jubilation of post World War I America into sharp focus but also its seedy underbelly.

Allie Nash is a wealthy rancher’s daughter from the vast grasslands and burgeoning oil fields of central Wyoming. Desperate to escape the forest of derricks as well as her mother’s tyranny, she joins the nation’s cadre of thoroughly modern Millies demanding more of life than a husband. She intends to find gainful employment in the big city of Chicago and have a rousing good time doing so. Shedding her Victorian upbringing, Allie will dive headfirst into the flapper culture, donning a fringed shift barely reaching her knees and throwing a feather in her headband. She will inadvertently frolic smack-dab into the middle of America’s worst scandal to date. Within hours of arriving in Chicago, Allie is swept up by a corrupt gang and soon finds herself embroiled in a scheme to defraud the nation of its newest resource. Oil. Allie has a choice. Will she become one of them? Or will she return to Wyoming, where the plains’ wildlife offers far less danger than mankind?
