...ordered La Grange Sheriff T.J. Flournoy to enforce the state's antiprostitution law. The town fought back, gathering signatures on a save-the-Chicken petition.

However, aside from his lack of emotion, Reynolds treats her in much the same way as her husband did. He transforms a rebellious, well-bred lady who doesn't know how to make a cup of coffee into a worshipful companion who scrubs his table and cooks his food. In Cat Dancing's frontier-era West, where women were more scarce than Radcliffe women...
