Wild Dust (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573694578)

Remember when the west was wild, the women were soft and the men were brave? Well, think again 'cause the worst dust storm of the 1800s is about to hit town and the men have all skedaddled! They're driving their precious cattle to safe shelter, leaving the women to fend for themselves. Tensions flare and sparks fly when society ladies are forced to take refuge with fallen women in the only safe building in town, the brothel. Now a lone cowboy stumbles in a mysterious stranger who may or may not be a U.S. Marshal. That's just terrific since the women are trying to dispose of a body before anyone discovers the murder! As the storm kicks into high gear, it pales to the tempest brewing inside. For three days the ladies and the drifter are forced to face each other and their own inner ghosts. Feminism meets machismo and both are stripped bare as everyone fights the roles in which society has them pegged. Love, self esteem and a healthy dose of laughter are the results. Yee haw! This is a rip roarin' good time!
