Synopsis
Arizona Territory, 1886-1887:
When her visiting kid sister is abducted, Frieda, distraught
and blaming herself, leaves her husband and children to find
her sister and return her to their devastated parents. On
her own in a scruffy hotel, three jails, a makeshift law office,
a Jewish-owned inn, two boisterous courtrooms, and at a bizarre
adjudication/execution she discovers why the Arizona Territory
is called the “the nation’s roughhouse.”
Stripped of illusions, amends made, more to be made, she returns
to those who await and welcome her. |
