Young Lily de Lony tells her version of what happened on Christmas Eve 1883 in the town of McDade, Texas, when a vigilante group of ordinary citizens struck against a gang of outlaws. One of the gang was to become the love of Lily's life; and one of the vigilantes was her father.
I’m the author of 6 literary and historical novels. I’ve written (and had published) short stories, essays, and book reviews. I've taught writing workshops for several writers guilds and for Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. I'm the mother of two sons, the grandmother of one grandson, and the daughter of a World War II veteran who recently passed away at age 88. I have two cats, and am also an avid watcher of birds, the weather, and the political goings-on in Washington, D.C. And I'm a bottomless well of spotty information on history and the meaning of life.
