Retrospective — D.R. Meredith

People called her That Hunter Woman and they didn't mean it kindly, but Mattie Hunter suspected if she had her life given back to her to correct, she would make the same choices. She was a hard woman, she knew that, but she had faced hard choices and hard circumstances. She built her property into the largest ranch in the Texas Panhandle, and it takes a hard woman to do that. But now was the time to reflect, to relive old memories, both the sweet and the hurtful, and there were both. Her live was drawing slowly to a close, and Jesse's would end before sunset. It was time to talk about all the memories they had shared, a retrospective of their lives.
