title: A Town by the River
author: Fischer-Dixon, Eva
description: After serving ten out of her fifteen year sentence for assisting her parents' suicide, Dr. Miriam Goldberg was finally paroled from jail. As part of her parole deal, she was to follow her sponsor, Judge Edward Masterson from California to a seemingly idyllic place in New Hampshire, the location of her new job. Miriam not only falls in love with the town where she was immediately accepted by the town's habitants, but she also stirs up passion between herself and the Judge's devastatingly handsome sons, Liv Ed and Jeremy. Miriam is intrigued by the town itself; she cannot understand why there are no animals or children in the seemingly heavenly town. Miriam slowly, but surely learns the shockingly fascinating and devastatingly dangerous truth about the town, and the Dante Principle. Her gained knowledge leaves her with two options; to learn to live with it or die from trying to escape from it. Being loved by sons of the Judge, there may be still hope for her, but she must choose the right man.
