The Crucible meets True Grit in this riveting adventure
story of a fugitive girl, a mysterious gang of robbers, and their
dangerous mission to transform the Wild West.
In the year of our Lord 1894, I became an outlaw.
The
day of her wedding, 17 year old Ada's life looks good; she loves her
husband, and she loves working as an apprentice to her mother, a
respected midwife. But after a year of marriage and no pregnancy, in a
town where barren women are routinely hanged as witches, her survival
depends on leaving behind everything she knows.
She joins up
with the notorious Hole in the Wall Gang, a band of outlaws led by a
preacher-turned-robber known to all as the Kid. Charismatic, grandiose,
and mercurial, the Kid is determined to create a safe haven for outcast
women. But to make this dream a reality, the Gang hatches a treacherous
plan that may get them all killed. And Ada must decide whether she's
willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of future for
them all.
Featuring an irresistibly no-nonsense, courageous, and determined heroine, Outlawed
dusts off the myth of the old West and reignites the glimmering promise
of the frontier with an entirely new set of feminist stakes. Anna North
has crafted a pulse-racing, page-turning saga about the search for hope
in the wake of death, and for truth in a climate of small-mindedness
and fear.
