The humid Texas night of 1949 hangs heavy over Noble. In a sprawling, opulent estate, a seventeen-year-old girl hears a soft thud against her windowpane. Peering out, she sees Jack Duncan, a lean, muscular farmer with warm brown eyes, dressed in a crisp white shirt. He smiles, beckoning her away from the gilded cage of her wealthy parents’ disapproval. She slides from the window, and he catches her effortlessly. Ignoring the danger of her father’s wrath, she joins him as he kisses her cheek, leading her into the starlit darkness for a secret rendezvous.
