So Long As It's Wonderful (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989917600)

Willie Tollett has her future figured out until she meets a stranger in the dark. John Musick, a World War I veteran from East Texas, is a good worker, but his off-duty pastimes are problematic for his pious employer. When Willie's father takes Mr. Musick on as a hired hand, her simple life gets complicated. A town controversy, a midnight Howler, and Zane Grey Westerns come together to challenge everything Willie knows about the world. So Long As It's Wonderful honors the heritage of the women of the West and celebrates the imagination that expanded their prospects and possibilities for the future.

As she walked from the dugout to the house, Willie wondered how much her father knew about John Musick. She doubted he would hire a man who read Western stories, played baseball, or went to the pool hall on Saturday nights. She considered telling him, but there was a depth to John Musick's gray eyes that made her want to protect him.
