Description: The year is 1920, prohibition is in full swing, women are clamoring for the vote, and a narrow-minded intolerance is on the rise. Life isn't easy for an unmarried woman, not in a little town like Genry, Louisiana, especially after she's sent to jail for swimming in an indecent bathing costume with a group of suffragettes. It's not as if Belle doesn't know how to behave. She knows the rules. She keeps the Primer of Propriety firmly in mind. But sometimes, most of the time, she has to twist the rules a little, or break them, or give them a permanent kink, because they all say the same thing: "don't."
