From the Inside Flap:
"Steeped in blazing fact and yore, this affecting novel--centered in the human heart and its will to survive--vividly evokes the last tragic months of Belle Starr's remarkable life. It should do for her memory what Irving Stone's Lust for Life did for Vincent van Gogh." ----Al Young
