Summary
In 1859 Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi, Amy Howard returns home to a life already mapped out for her. The daughter of one of St. Petersburg’s wealthiest landowners, she’s expected to marry advantageously and keep her head bowed. But Amy’s will is her own—and always has been.
Across town, Huck Finn, now grown and working under a respectable name, has learned to move through polite society without belonging to it. When Amy’s defiance collides with his hard-won quiet, both discover that freedom can be far more dangerous—and far more necessary—than propriety allows.
With Becky Sawyer as their fiercely loyal witness, they navigate a world built on social control, hypocrisy, and rumor, where conscience and love are crimes of equal measure.
Set on the eve of a nation’s fracture, Unbound re-imagines Mark Twain’s river world through the lens of adulthood and consequence—part love story, part reckoning. Told with intimate realism, dry humor, and the slow burn of two spirits refusing to be contained, it traces the cost of choosing one’s own life in a society determined to decide it for you.
