The General's Notorious Widow — Stephen A. Bly

The scandalous death of Lixie Miller's husband has forced her to flee to Lordsburg, New Mexico. All she wanted to do at first was crawl in a hole and hide. But after a few months of dull routine, her safe hole is beginning to feel like her burial place. Then an interesting attorney comes from Santa Fe just to meet her--and leaves just as quickly as he came. And others need her help, including a hurt Indian girl. Suddenly Lixie has a purpose, but the dangerous circumstances unfolding around her threaten to take it away. Bly's latest is an adventurous, fast-paced story of one courageous lady's journey as she comes to recognize how the Lord works in her life. Book 2, The Belles of Lordsburg.
