Podrobnosti o e‑knize
Fleeing Atlanta a bad marriage, Imogene McBride heads west with her precocious, beautiful teenage daughter, Cora, when their car breaks down in a tiny North Texas town. While her mother sits out its repair, Cora wanders off to buy ice cream¾and disappears without a trace.
So begins Immas vigil. As her waiting stretches from days and weeks into years, Imma becomes¾as the town eccentric if not madwoman¾a pivotal institution. And when the local sheriff works to unravel the mystery of Coras disappearance, a bond develops between the aging sheriff and the eccentric woman who brings Ezra both new hope and forces him to confront his own past.
With an all-new introduction to the Baen Ebook Edition.
Clay Reynolds is the winner of the Western Writers of America Spur Award.

"Ambitious and absorbing."¾Larry McMurtry
"Ingenious . . . Leaves readers gasping and eager for more."¾Stephen King
