Cosby's \u003ci\u003eAll the Sinners Bleed\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEld should've known better. Hell, he \u003ci\u003edid\u003c\/i\u003e know better. But watching lesser men hit big paydays--men who \u003ci\u003edidn't \u003c\/i\u003efight in Europe--grew unbearable. So, when the opportunity arises, he reaches for a little something extra for his family, and even more for himself. With Prohibition expiring in a matter of months, his turn from fisherman to rumrunner was supposed to be temporary. It seemed the perfect plan. Even Maggie, Eld's normally sensible wife, is on board. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThings don't go to plan. Amid the region's players battle to capture the biggest piece of a shrinking pie, Eld's tiny family operation is caught in the crossfire. One bitterly cold night packing whiskey across Lake Huron costs Eld dearly, and his family even more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHunted by gangsters and squeezed by the Depression, Eld, Maggie, and the children are scattered: Eld to Canada on a doomed quest, Maggie and her daughter forced into finding sanctuary in a faith more cult than religion. When they finally reunite, they may not even recognize each other as the same people who crossed their fingers and threw the dice for a shot at a better life.","brand":"Matt Riordan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46631354007788,"sku":"9781368101455","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781368101455.jpg?v=1751967837","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/while-the-getting-is-good","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
