(Novella, general release re-issue)
Synopsis:
"A New York Times bestselling author offers a brilliant
reinvention of one of the best-known fairy tales of all time with Snow
White as a gunslinger in the mythical Wild West.Forget the dark,
enchanted forest. Picture instead a masterfully evoked Old West where
you are more likely to find coyotes as the seven dwarves. Insert into
this scene a plain-spoken, appealing narrator who relates the history of
our heroine’s parents—a Nevada silver baron who forced the Crow people
to give up one of their most beautiful daughters, Gun That Sings, in
marriage to him. Although her mother’s life ended as hers began, so
begins a remarkable tale: equal parts heartbreak and strength. This girl
has been born into a world with no place for a half-native, half-white
child. After being hidden for years, a very wicked stepmother finally
gifts her with the name Snow White, referring to the pale skin she will
never have."
