To this town there comes one day one of the reckless sociopaths who wander the West to kill and rape and pillage. By the time he is through and has ridden off, Hard Times is a smoking ruin. The de facto mayor, Blue, takes in two survivors of the carnagea boy, Jimmy, and a prostitute, Molly, who has suffered unspeakablyand makes them his provisional family. Blue begins to rebuild Hard Times, welcoming new settlers, while Molly waits with vengeance in her heart for the return of the outlaw.Praise for Welcome to Hard TimesA forceful, credible story of cowardice and evil.The Washington PostWe are caught up with these people as real human beings.Chicago SunTimesDramatic and exciting.The New York TimesTerse and powerful.NewsweekA taut, bloodthirsty read.The Times Literary SupplementA superb piece of fiction.The New Republic
