“In a town were everyone knew or had heard of everyone else, Henry Ann was someone new to wonder about.

“If Rawlings is anything like Red Rock, people are wondering who I am.”
“Shall I get up and make an announcement?”
“What would you say?”
“I’d say, ’Folks, I would like to present Mrs. Tom Dolan from Red Rock.MoreLess
