Stella Hardesty dispatched her abusive husband
with a wrench shortly before her fiftieth birthday. A few
years later, she’s so busy delivering home-style justice on
her days off, helping other women deal with their own
abusive husbands and boyfriends, that she barely has time to
run her sewing shop in her rural Missouri hometown. Some men
need more convincing than others, but it’s usually nothing a
little light bondage or old-fashioned whuppin' can’t fix.
Since Stella works outside of the law, she’s free to do
whatever it takes to get the job done---as long as she keeps
her distance from the handsome devil of a local sheriff,
Goat Jones.
When young mother Chrissy Shaw asks Stella
for help with her no-good husband, Roy Dean, it looks like
an easy case. Until Roy Dean disappears with Chrissy’s
two-year-old son, Tucker. Stella quickly learns that Roy
Dean was involved with some very scary men, as she tries to
sort out who’s hiding information and who’s merely trying to
kill her. It’s going to take a hell of a fight to get the
little boy back home to his mama, but if anyone can do it,
it’s Stella Hardesty.
