From dust jacket: "A small Florida town absorbs a stranger and heals itself during a day of violence." To the people of Creighton, Florida, Hugh Lee was a northerner and a stranger, which would have made him an outsider even if he had not been rebellious and a little aloof. Hugh was accepted because his wife Anne had been born and raised right in Creighton, a town where everyone knew everyone else's business. But Hugh was a fighter and a crusader who, even as he tried to maintain his identity and individuality, gradually forced his wife into a position where she found herself siding with the people of the town. Luke Lott, the local banker, represented the new wealthy class along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, but he ached to be a part of the old aristocracy that still ruled there. "No individual," said Luke, "is worth more than a town and the rules for living in Creighton were made a long time ago." Anne had to choose -- either she would side with her husband or with the people of her home town. And then, in one day of violence and change, the choice was made for her.
