Plot Summary of Rushmore
"From the book blurb:
Liz escapes from the city and her emotionally cruel husband to a small country town, only to become embroiled in a dangerous smuggling ring and the lives of the quirky locals. Rushmore is at times hilarious, frightening,
poignant and passionate. With twists and turns in every chapter."

Carolyn Scott, Resident Scholar
