There will be an author conversation, a book signing, and pie. Laura is a Tulsa author, with an Oklahoma book inspired by her ancestor. -- A pioneer unwaveringly endures the Oklahoma frontier in an epic adventure about a woman haunted by secrets and searching for home. "Exactly the kind of book that I love: beautifully written, decadent, every word a masterpiece. This book deserves to be shouted about. I am savoring every sentence, and I will love it to my dying breath." -Heba Al-Wasity, #1 bestselling author of Weavingshaw A cannon booms at high noon, and the race begins in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. Amid the crowd is Minnie Hoopes. Tenacious and fiercely independent, she is determined to endure the brutal frontier and create a life of her own. Guarding her solitude, she distances herself from bordering homesteaders and finds peace under the starry nights of the vast frontier. But this is outlaw country, and Minnie soon has the blood of two gunfighters on her hands. After a renegade outlaw named Stot discovers her secrets, she forms an unlikely friendship with him. With each passing season, Minnie’s past grows more haunting and threatens the future she has risked everything to build. Based on the true story of the author’s great-great-grandparents, this sweeping and transportive survival story explores a woman’s connection with the land, her reconciliation with the past, and her elemental search for home against all odds. Settle in, I’ve stories to tell.
