The Confederette

Leila Gale Macdonald, an impoverished soap-maker from rural Pottsboro, North Carolina, is raped after the Civil War by a gang of renegade Union soldiers, occupationalists roaming the back-woods, looking for prey.  Pregnant and alone on the family farm, she begs for death.  But, having a stronger will, she seeks justice where none is to be found. After her horse is killed and her house burned to the ground, she enters the lion's den with a vengeance and files charges against the men who ruined her.  Southern justice at its best, one of the rapists is tarred and feathered, but Leila finds herself tried as a murderess and horse thief, trapped in a jail cell, with a date with the hangman... until she creates an army of widows, children and crippled Confederate veterans who take back the town.   Written by Rose Stadler.            246 pages.
