Told in a voice every bit as entertaining as it is richly authentic, this is the unforgettable story of Chrysanthemum Clutie Mae Chestnut, a spirited young woman of the late 19th century who refused to be broken by the hard life she was born to. Along the way she shot a husband, fell in love with a pistolero, befriended Frank James and Queen Victoria, and traveled across the country and beyond.
