The Canary

RECIPE FOR ADVENTURE 1 spunky widow 1 hateful church lady 2 sailors & 1 checkerboard 5 little darlin’s + I smarty stinker Add 1 apron pocket full of jewels Mix well and bake in the 1890’s Galveston heat Myra Gallaway, a young widow with five children, supports her family by walking the wharves of Galveston selling homemade sweets. She never imagined she’d be joining forces with husband-hating church society queen, Julia Jameson. Myra’s apron pockets are soon filling up with the unspendables man smuggling sailor friends Sure Foot and Black Jack need to move. The Klondike gold fields are calling hapless dreamers and the boys are all about obliging them, yet everybody knows that a sailor cannot spend what he does not earn. My goodness, those unspendables are one serious problem!
