About the book
In nineteenth-century Texas, two tough-minded women dare to challenge the status quo in a warm, witty, and adventurous historical romance by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.
Daisy Lindberg and Lily Boyle have left behind their colorful past to start fresh as seamstresses in Autrie, Texas. Their goal to ignite a women's rights movement has caught the attention of the town's bewildered men. However, the women are tired of being treated as possessions and their response is clear: "Amen, sister!"
Beulah, a bold shop owner with the strength of a cannon shot, is fully supportive of their cause. Alma, a meek preacher's wife who has reached her breaking point, also joins in. Soon, a group of brave women have a petition of demands for liberation. Surprisingly, they find an ally in Matt Maguire, a sheep rancher who shares their belief in women's independence, as well as his interest in Lily.
As Daisy and Lily shake things up in the small town, their hidden secrets threaten to be revealed. Nevertheless, they refuse to let their past dictate their future. In fact, facing love and the opportunity for new beginnings, they have never felt more determined.
