Praise for Judy Alter’s fiction:

“Time and place come to life in Alter’s bright, atmospheric novel set in Center, Texas, during the early 1900s.—Publishers Weekly

“Judy Alter is one of the finest writers of western fiction. Her realistic portrayal of historic events touches the imagination and stirs the spirit.”—Literary Times

“Rings . . . authentically true. . . . Brilliant and memorable . . . Kudos to Ms. Alter for a refreshingly unique story.”—Affaire de Couer
