Coleman M says:
Horror meets western as Adelaide Henry escapes her past to the big skies of Montana, but nowhere is safe from the monsters we create for ourselves.
In 1915, Adelaide Henry, after her secret sin killed her parents, sets out for Montana, dragging an enormous steamer trunk that's locked at all times, to become one of the "lone women" taking advantage of the government's offer of free land where she hopes to bury her past.

I was a librarian at Worthington Libraries from 2016 through 2024 and I love reading literary books, environmental treatises, short stories, calls to social action, graphic novels and anything with a dark sense of humor. When I'm not helping library patrons, you can find me debating the merits of Star Wars, feeding my YouTube addiction or attempting to emulate my favorite authors by writing stories of my own.
