"Hallie Stillwell -- ranch woman, justice of the peace, writer -- was known and loved far beyond the Big Bend, where she spent most of her near-hundred years. In her second book she tells how she took up the reins after the untimely death of her husband Roy and held tenaciously, against all odds, to the ranch where they had shared an eventful though rugged life. Truly a legend in her own time, she had a great story, and she told it with warmth and good humor." -- Elmer Kelton, Western author.
