Sugar and spice

Frances Devine

"When Cici Willow, a pastor's daughter, falls in love with Jimmy Grayson, she feels she must give up a lifelong desire for excitement and adventure. Feeling guilty over her selfishness, she jumps at the chance to do what she thought would be a good deed, but instead she runs straight into danger. Jimmy is certain about his love for Cici, but he isn't sure why his future as an attorney no longer satisfies him. Or why he suddenly feels more at home among the poor folks near the docks. To make life more disturbing, the man who exploited Jimmy and his sister has reappeared. When Jimmy sees Cici standing on the deck of a tour boat with the villain, he can't believe his eyes. And as the steamer Eastland sinks into the murky Chicago River, will God answer Cici's prayer to give her a second chance at life and love?"--Cover verso.
