Alone on a wagon train and threatened by the man who murdered her mother, Dixie Dandelion steals a horse belonging to an undercover Pinkerton agent and escapes to the town of Six Shooter Siding.
Hired at first to cook in a railroad camp, she begins to make friends, even the town’s soiled doves assist her when she buys the abandoned ranch. Determined never to depend on others, especially men, Dixie is torn between trusting Pinkerton Jackson McCullough and standing on her own.
But will this new independence be enough to save Dixie when the past catches up with her?
I read this first, before I began to narrate it, and honestly it's a wonderful book. Historical fiction in which we have a badass woman who's going to take shit from no one. She is outspoken, blunt and loves just about everyone she meets, and everyone loves her too.
