She is as tough and strong as any boy, and yet as pretty a girl you'd ever see. Her stepbrother has always thought of her as an annoying tag-along. But when his father comments on Judith's growing beauty, Doug begins to see her as a girl who needs protection. When Judith tags along on a mail delivery that Doug was appointed to do, he grudgingly welcomes her company. Unfortunately for them, after they've bedded down for the evening, they hear a shot in the night. They go out to investigate and discover the dead body of Oscar, their neighbor, with a bullet in his head. They must now try to discover who the actual murderer is before suspicions fall onto the siblings. Honor Willsie Morrow was an avid researcher and expert in Abraham Lincoln. She is known for her great storytelling and for observational abilities that translate well into her writing. |

Contributor Bio(s): Morrow, Honore Willsie: - Nora Bryant McCue was born on February 19, 1880, at Ottumwa, Iowa, the daughter of William Dunbar and Lily Bryant Head McCue. Her family moved to Madison, Wisconsin, when she was a small child, where her father worked for a local railroad line and later as a clerk at the federal courthouse. Nora was the salutatorian of her senior class at Madison Central High School in 1898 and went on to attend the University of Wisconsin, where she majored in history. It was said that Nora, who was a tall, striking brunette, cut quite a figure on campus while walking Cedric, her Great Dane. Nora's father was appalled when a few years earlier she had spent $50 of her savings to purchase Cedric, then a two-month-old puppy. On August 1, 1904, she married Henry Elmer Willsie, in Madison. Willsie was a consulting mining engineer and inventor who would later help develop a gas mask for the military during World War I. It was while she and her husband were living in Arizona that Nora began her writing career by submitting western stories and articles under the name "Honore Willsie" to Collier's magazine and Harper's Weekly. Her first novel, "Heart of the Desert: Kut-Le of the Desert," was published in 1913. The following year she began a five-year stint as editor of The Delineator, a women's magazine about "Fashion, Fine Arts and Culture." |
