Nothing Hidden
By Paulette Bullinger
During North Dakota’s early years, 1910-1912, south of Bismarck and Mandan, two young women build a friendship that spans the Missouri River. But when men enter their lives, jealousy and deception follow, and a mysterious death during a community dance begins a string of tragedies, unraveling their quiet lives. Decades later, a secret shared between a young girl and her aunt brings to light events from long ago, and brings hope for some form of salvation. Nothing Hidden reveals the early days of bootlegging, religious differences, estate problems, Native American trials and many more interesting North Dakota historical facts all in the form of this fictionalized account of a love-gone-wrong tragedy.
