I don't usually go for Westerns, but I was intrigued by the feminist plot of the novel. Set in the Western Frontier somewhere in the Colorado/Texas/Oklahoma area where women are ostracized and thought of as witches for their inability to have children. Ada, the main character, meets up with the Hole in the Wall gang, a group of lawless women doing everything they can to survive. The story is fast-paced, with sweeping descriptions of the landscape. The Diverse cast of characters are often flawed but very likable. Ultimately it is a story about survival, female friendship, and love. 📖🐛🐛🐛🐛
