    About this ebook

    Changing your life for the better is never an easy task, but most of the time, it's the only way to make sense of it all.

    Set during the Prohibition Era - more precisely, in the winter of 1927 - on the backdrop of Maverick City, a fictional city akin to Chicago, this story will take you to dark places but not without also giving you meaningful rays of light to look forward to in the distance.

    Ed Valenti is stuck in a loop of booze and gambling, constantly losing track of time and happily numbing his memories whenever possible. One night he wins a car at a game of poker. That car will bring to his doorstep a worried father looking for his son and from that moment on Ed's life won't be the same.

    Julia Proud

    Julia Proud has always been fascinated by stories and spent countless hours scribbling something or other. But she also had a love for exact science and Mathematics. After a few years spent studying Cybernetics and Statistics, she decided to try her hand at Film School, because, erm... why not?She has always loved the movies and writing scripts turned out to be fitting. But again she couldn’t be still and somehow ended up working as an Animation Artist for various Television Series and even in the Flash Games Industry.She is currently working as a freelancer, and ardently struggling to figure out this new thing she’s bumped into: motherhood. But despite her winding journey, Julia Proud has never let go of her love for writing and storytelling. As long as she manages to touch another’s soul with her stories she will be proud – bad pun intended.
