Rocky Nook Tea Room

By Laura Wight

Gertrude Edmands, a rising opera singer in Boston, finds her career and life on hold while the war and the 1918 flu pandemic, rage. Purchasing a home in nearby Hingham, she anxiously hunkers down, opening the Rocky Nook Tea Room to help with finances.What she doesn't plan for, is the arrival of the dashing Mr. Fred Torrey, brother to one of her dear friends. Bold and handsome, he upends her world and catapults her into the intrigues of union battles, prohibition...and bootlegging. Will this new world provide an avenue for eventual security and happiness, or land Gertrude and Fred in inescapable trouble? "Ma'am," he began, and if Gertrude wasn't mistaken, his Adam's-apple came perilously close to choking him. "We had to have a look through the cases in the back of your truck." He quickly changed his tone to as business-like as possible. "It's our job, you know, to make sure no liquor is being transported in these parts." The bluster then left him as quickly as it had appeared. "We, um, had a look at your relish, and in our haste...my haste...I... A few things might have gotten broken."
