In 1887 Texas, nineteen-year-old Mabel Colter, daughter of a blacksmith, walked home at dusk through a dusty cattle town. When Harlan Pike — a hard-drinking cowboy with a reputation for charm in daylight and cruelty in shadows — cornered her in an alley, Mabel fought back. In the struggle, his own pistol went off. The town saw not self-defense but a girl with blood on her hands. Sentenced to fourteen years in the stone-gray walls of Redstone Prison, Mabel Colter became more than a convict. She became a whispered legend — the girl who fought back when the law wouldn’t.

But it wasn’t the Whitacre brothers who would cause the enormous shift in his life. That would come two days later and would start at a peaceful family farm that held more promise than it did danger.
