They've been dubbed The Stagworth Five because the five of them escaped the Stagworth prison. They are suspected of murder and burglary, and are on the lam.
Sean seems obsessed with "The Doors." He tells an acquaintance that the music he's listening to (The Doors) is the soundtrack to his life. Their music is quoted throughout. He's the leader of the pack and he makes sure they all know it. They move from place to place when he says they do. He's unpredictable and will do anything to keep from going back to prison.
Kurt, one of the five, has met a young lady that he's crazy about. She, in turn, likes him. She has secrets of her own. He tells her his name is David.
Wes is big but not very smart.
Craig spends his time talking about movies. Movies are big for him and he often comes up with new lists and says to Kurt things like "Name your ten favorite prison break movies." It's difficult to determine how and why he got involved with the "Stagworth Five." He seems so mild.
Lonnie is dangerous and they all know it. He's a loose cannon. The others don't know where he is. All but he are now at Gun Lake.
Ossie, although not a part of the Five, is, against his wishes, along for the ride. He's a praying man.
Others are involved in the story as well. Michelle takes her son to Gun Lake to spend time with him and to keep him away from the trouble he's been in at home.
Paul quit his job as a bartender and is now at his second home at Gun Lake.
Norah is on the run from her abusive boyfriend and is now living and working at Gun Lake.
This novel is well written. The nascent romance is better written than most romance novels. There is no sappy happy-ever-after ending. The conversion that takes place is believable. All these positive characteristics and yet this wasn't a book that drew me in and had me wanting more. ”“Excellent tale of escaped prisoners who travel to Gun Lake, Michigan, and what happens when their lives cross with five other troubled souls....a story of loss, hope and redemption with an ending you will never forget.... ”
