Sixteen-year-old Lily Cassidy has lost her father to an assassin at the beginning of the infamous Lincoln County War. The burden of supporting her mother and her crippled brother weighs mightily on her shoulders, but there is no one else. She knows who killed her father and why but is powerless to do anything about it. Lily's only hope for justice is "Uncle" Emmett Moss, a friendly local rancher whose fairness and common sense shine like a beacon to Lily's eyes. She's taken aback when widowed Emmett proposes marriage, but she accepts as a way to support her mother and brother. With Lily spurring him on, Emmett takes on Henry Hart, the man who hired Robert Cassidy's killer. It sets off a bloody conflagration in which many of Lily's friends and neighbors die. Through it all, Lily matures rapidly into a strong, clear-eyed woman who accepts the strengths and weaknesses of those around her with equal aplomb. A stylishly written western, full of memorable characters. Wes Lukowsky --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
