A lady in defiance

...IT'S HIS TOWN AND HE DARES GOD TO STEP FOOT IN IT. Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless godless mining town of Defiance. When three good Christian sisters from his beloved South show up stranded alone and offering to open a "nice" hotel he is intrigued enough to let them stay...especially since he sees feisty middle sister Naomi as a possible conquest. But Naomi angry with God for widowing her wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning prostitute-keeping Mr. McIntyre. It would seem however that God has gone to elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is "Why?" Does God really have a plan for each and every life? Written with gritty but not gratuitous realism uncharacteristic of historical Christian fiction A Lady in Defiance gives a nod to both Pride and Prejudice and Redeeming Love .The story based on true events is an "ensemble" piece that deftly weaves together the relationships of the three sisters and the rowdy residents of Defiance.
