Stella Hardesty dispatched her abusive husband with a wrench shortly before her fiftieth birthday. A few years later, sheβs so busy delivering home-style justice on her days off, helpingΒ other women deal with their own abusive husbands and boyfriends, that she barely has time to run herΒ sewing shop in her ruralΒ MissouriΒ hometown. Some men need more convincing than others, but itβs usually nothing a little light bondage or old-fashioned whuppin' canβt fix. Since Stella works outside of the law, sheβs 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. UntilΒ RoyΒ DeanΒ disappears with Chrissyβs two-year-old son, Tucker. Stella quickly learns that Roy Dean was involved with some very scary men, as she tries to sort out whoβs hiding information and whoβs merely trying to kill her. Itβs going to take a hell of a fight to get the little boy back home to his mama, but if anyone can do it, itβs Stella Hardesty.
